Description

Event Overview

Over two workshops, the social reality of modern slavery will be described. This reality will be placed alongside the Gospel message of human flourishing and Catholic Social Teaching on the dignity of the human person for participants to discuss. A concrete parish, school and personal intervention will be proposed as a faith-in-action response to the harmful practice of slavery. School leaders & staff, parish priests & parishioners welcome. This session is part of the WACMRO Faith in Action Series which looks at Catholic Social Teaching and how it relates to living out the Gospel in everyday life. CEWA Ongoing Renewal: this course has been approved for Faith Formation.
