The Racial Justice Committee of SPX has 3 objectives:
LEARN: Create a space of respectful dialogue and raise awareness of the negative impact of bias, racism, and inaction on people of color in the United States.
PRAY: Share resources on acceptance, equality, and justice to encourage prayerful self-examination, and recognition of prejudice and discrimination as attitudes and actions that distance us from God.
DO: Provide opportunities for parishioners to live out their discipleship by taking anti-racist actions in their daily lives, to work towards racial equality and combat systems that discriminate against and oppress our brothers and sisters.
