Empowering people of faith to develop a passion and thirst for justice.

JustFaith Ministries offers extended justice formation programs that provide opportunities for individuals to study and be formed by the justice tradition articulated in the scriptures, the Church’s historical witness, theological inquiry and Church social teaching.

JustFaith Ministries programs help individuals experience conversion – a change of heart – integrating their personal spirituality with social commitment. Participants are empowered to develop a passion and thirst for justice and to express this passion in concrete acts of social ministry in their parish or church – and the community at large.

JustFaith Ministries currently offers five programs:

• JustFaith (Catholic) – Our flagship program, used in over seven hundred Catholic parishes involving 12,000 people in a 30 week process that empowers participants to develop a passion and thirst for justice., and prepares them for the work of social ministry.
• JustFaith (Ecumenical) - This program is adapted for the broader Christian family. It is a 30 week program focused on the call to be about God’s compassion and justice.
• JustSkills – This twenty session program is primarily focused on the practical skills involved in organizing, strategizing and effectively doing social ministry in the parish or church.
• JusticeWalking – Crafted for older high school students and their mentors, this 12 session process engages participants in a spiritual journey and exploration of the radical call of the Gospel.
• JustMatters – Patterned after the JustFaith process, these 6 – 8 session programs focus on a very specific topic and allow participants to give increased attention to one issue, culminating in a call to engaged action.
• Engaging Spirituality (pilot) – This 21 session process invites small groups to live deeply and love broadly as they explore the interconnection between contemplative living and gospel mission. The brand new project was piloted in selected locations in September of 2008.

These programs are tools that have proven over and over again to be effective strategies for training and forming individuals to be agents of social transformation. They are exciting opportunities for parishes, churches, dioceses and small faith communities interested in expanding and promoting social ministry.
