John,

As things ramp up at our member institutions at the start of a new school year, ISN has been busy rolling out new programs and welcoming new stakeholders into our work!

Jon Gromek recently began as ISN's director of justice formation and action, a new leadership role within the organization. Additionally, Lauren Morten, James Erler, and James Cappabianca joined ISN's board of directors.

Our Ignatian Voices for Justice Podcast just released a new episode featuring two young leaders collaborating with Discerning Deacons and promoting the Feast of Saint Phoebe Virtual Prayer and Celebration on September 3, 2025.

Finally, two of ISN's summer programs significantly impacted participants, who returned to their respective communities more equipped to further justice action. The Migration Justice Summit took place in late June in Chicago, and in late July, the Catholic Ethical Purchasing Alliance (CEPA) hosted a two-day experience that immersed faculty participants in the garment industry of Los Angeles.

Keep an eye out for ISN's various upcoming programs, including the Justice Educators Collective that just released the first of four webinars designed to support religious educators in bringing Catholic Social Teaching (CST) to life in high school settings.

In solidarity,

   
Andrew Hanson-Quintana
