Justice Formation Program
Contemplative Justice Formation Program

We are revising the formation programs that transform people and expand their commitment to social ministry.
Our Christian faith invites us to become agents of God’s compassion in a wounded world. The Faith in Action Ministry of the Franciscan Renewal Center offers opportunities that help you act on that invitation. These programs offer Casa community members time to study, explore and experience Christ’s call to care for the poor and vulnerable in a lively, challenging, multifaceted adult learning process in the context of a small faith community.

More information on the new programs coming in early Fall 2017.

Mix your child’s interests with faith. Music lovers can join the youth choir; dancers can participate in liturgical dance; sports lovers can join a team affiliated with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.3. Set priorities. Making time for church functions helps your child set their priorities in life. As parents, we should make the effort to show that church sometimes takes priority over other events.4. Be a witness to teammates and other parents.This doesn’t mean standing on the sidelines quoting Bible verses. Living by example is a powerful way to preach the Gospel.Finding the balance between extra activities and faith will help your child learn the larger lesson: faith isn’t separate from the rest of life. In fact, faith ought to shape every aspect of our lives. It’s a win – win situation! … See MoreSee Less
