The “Just Parenting” Blog provides a framework for discussion around the intersections of parenting, faith and social justice. Our writers have all been touched by the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola through Jesuit education and/or participated in Jesuit sponsored volunteer programs such as the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. If you have a submission you would like to be posted in “Just Parenting” please send it to info@ignatiansolidarity.net.
