Information

The harsh, divisive rhetoric that is so common today causes many of us to wonder if respectful dialogue is possible. This workshop will explore Peace-Building Circles as way to help individuals/groups address conflicts holistically and have difficult conversations. Based on indigenous practices, circles are used around the world helping to bring inclusion, listening, and healing in a collective group process. In groups, circles can release the transformative power of the Spirit, transforming relationships so as to build peace and justice.

Maryknoll Missioners & Orbis BooksClimate change. Refugees. Migration. Peacebuilding. Racism. How are we, as people of faith, called to respond to these and other challenges? Maryknoll Missioners have served as the heart and hands of the U.S. Catholic Church's mission abroad for over 100 years. Inspired by the Gospel and in solidarity with people who have been marginalized, we strive -- as missionary priests, sisters, brothers and laity -- to meet needs while addressing root causes of poverty and violence. An important expression of our work is our Maryknoll Office of Global Concerns (MOGC). Through MOGC, we educate and encourage people of faith to use their voices as advocates for justice, peace and human dignity. Whether you're called to action as an informed voter, a local advocate and ally, a lay volunteer, or a priest, brother or sister, learn how Maryknoll Missioners can help you to answer that call!
