News and Voices from the Ignatian Network
John -
As a Catholic network inspired by the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the witness of the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador and their companions, the Ignatian Solidarity Network believes in the dignity of each and every person. We denounce racism in all forms and commit to working with our network to confront white supremacy and systemic racial injustice.
There are no easy answers, but our faith can be an important lens through which to analyze the realities of racial injustice and to discern steps towards social action. Below, accompanied by justice news from our network, find reflections and resources from a Catholic, Jesuit perspective to guide you in your own discernment in your work toward racial justice.
