about us
Impelled by our shared Catholic faith, Jesuit charisms and the needs of our community and our world to hear the call for racial equity, CORE teams are learning, organizing, and advocating together to be a more powerful force for racial equity and justice.
CORE has two goals:
To provide resources, momentum and opportunities for cooperation as our ministries grapple to do transformative work on race within our institutions through our Toolkit.
To facilitate collaboration between ministries so we may act as a force for justice and to dismantle systems of oppression in our cities, states and nation though our Organizing Collaborative
toolkit editors
The writing, contributions and framing for the CORE toolkit came from parishioners, teachers, students, clergy and other partners in Jesuit missions from across our Province.
