John,

Welcome to this issue of Faith Meets Justice! As summer gives way to fall and the new academic year is underway, we particularly uplift the efforts of young people and staff at Jesuit high schools, colleges, and universities who are using their gifts and talents to build a more just world. 

Read about the incredible sustainability work undertaken by student leaders at Brophy College Preparatory, hear from college and university students who grew as community organizers during ISN's Ignatian Justice Summit, celebrate the advocacy efforts of students from Jesuit high schools on the West Coast, and be inspired by the community of educators who gathered for ISN's first Eco Educator Summit. 

As a bonus, learn about the upcoming global synod through a Question and Answer with Discerning Deacons, where young people (including a college student at St. Joseph's University!) are represented for the first time in history!

Thank you for being a part of our network, living out "a faith that does justice!"

Peace,
   
Christopher G. Kerr
Executive Director
