LISTENING TO INDIGENOUS VOICES – Sign Up for a Small Group Today!
Using the Listening to Indigenous Voices book that was published by the Jesuit Forum for Social Faith and Justice as a guide, small groups of 5-8 participants meet over Zoom for approximately 1 hour every two weeks for 11 sessions (groups will come to a consensus regarding meeting times and frequency) to discuss each chapter. Participants are responsible for purchasing their own books (approximately $26). Groups are formed on an ongoing basis as enough participants sign up with similar availabilities. For more information, please contact Mireille Grenier at mgrenier@archsaintboniface.ca.
Alternatively, if you are interested in participating in an in-person small group, please contact Janice Cummine at socialjustice@blessedsacramentwpg.ca.
