10 a.m. – Noon
Zoom Webinar – 
Registration and Details Here
The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a public conversation about ongoing racial inequity and injustice in America. How can the Church uphold the dignity of all human persons and foster the common good during these contentious times? What issues do we need to address with our own Church that prevent an appropriate response? The Minnesota Catholic Conference, the public policy voice of the Catholic Church in Minnesota, is hosting this forum for priests, deacons, educators, and lay ecclesial ministers on the memorial of St. Peter Claver to provide an opportunity for formation and reflection on these critical issues in our community, and how we as a Church can respond.
 
Featured speaker: Bishop Shelton Fabre, Bishop of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux and Chairman, USCCB Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism
Panelist: Damen Owens, international speaker and evangelist and executive director of Joyful Ever After. More panelists to be announced.
