Our Story
Birthed out of the small groups of JustFaith Ministries’ racial justice modules, Virginia Catholics for Racial Justice is a network of people across Virginia who have moved from conversation to action.
Our grassroots ministry engages in an inclusive, welcoming, and on-going process to form and transform us into anti-racist individuals, and to build an anti-racist church.
We are guided by our faith, our experiences, discernment, relationship building at all levels, identification of strengths, affirmation of gifts, and the movement of the Holy Spirit to lead us to transformative action.
