Hello All and Happy Advent!

It is once again time to register for the annual Catholic Social Ministry Gathering (CSMG). The 2022 Gathering will be all virtual and will be taking place event Saturday, January 29 – Tuesday, February 1, 2022.

See attached flyer for details.

The theme of the 2022 gathering is "Justice at the Margins,” and will focus on equipping participants with the knowledge, relationships, and skills to build communities of justice where all can thrive. This call is especially important as we come out of a pandemic that further pushed some communities to the margins. This virtual gathering of U.S. Catholic social ministry leaders is organized by the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, 10 USCCB departments, and 20 national Catholic organizations!

For more than 30 years, the Catholic Social Ministry Gathering (CSMG) has brought together hundreds of participants whose faith inspires them to address pressing current domestic and global challenges affecting our most vulnerable brothers and sisters at home and around the world. This year’s virtual gathering will include:

• Inspiring speakers and grassroots voices in Church and society

• Workshops with policy experts and community leaders

• Intentional opportunities for best practice-sharing among participants

• Resources from dozens of Catholic social ministry organizations

• Virtual advocacy visits with elected officials

• And much more!

Registration is $50 for this multi-day virtual event. Financial assistance is available for leaders from under-represented ethnic, cultural, or disability communities.

The program at CSMG 2022 will be bilingual (English and Spanish), with translation available for plenary sessions and unique Spanish-only workshops.

Please let me know if you are interested!

Blessings,
