Social Action Summer Institute: Equipping Leaders for Catholic Action
July 20-25, 2008: Social Action Summer Institute
The Social Action Summer Institute is coming to Atlanta. This National Institute for Catholic Social Ministries will equip social justice leaders who want to learn more about Catholic social teaching, apply it to the "signs of times", and learn skills to be more effective in the parish and in the public arena, all within the context of prayer, liturgy, and a Catholic spirituality of social justice. For more information, FAQs, registration, and scholarship opportunities, see the Social Action Summer Institute page.
