Prayer Service for Justice
Friday, November 15, 8:30-8:50am
Outside the north side of Bellarmine Chapel at the memorial to the Salvadoran Martyrs and Peace Garden
To honor the Jesuit values of justice and solidarity, all faculty, staff, students, and Bellarmine parishioners are invited to the Prayer Service for Justice on the 30th anniversary of the murders of the Jesuits and their companions at the Universidad Centro-Americana.
The Service will include a prayerful send-off for our students who will be attending the Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice, the largest annual Catholic social justice conference in the U.S., and the 8 faculty and staff who will be in El Salvador as part of a delegation of representatives from US Jesuit colleges and universities to commemorate the event.
Faculty: Dalia Diab, David Inczauskis, Ellen Hurst, Kevin Lavelle, Jondra Long, Christopher Marshall, Marcus Mescher, and Lindsey Steller.
Students going to IFTJ: Camryn Backman, Olivianah Baugh, Hannah Cascio, Sophia Gentile, Maggie Hohlefelder, Alan Lozano Aguilar, Luke Obermeier, Megan Scharrer, Miles Tiemeyer, and Spencer Liechty (Staff Member)
