John - Lots of important reads in this week's edition of "Faith Meets Justice" from the Ignatian network across the U.S. Check it out! 

John - Welcome to the latest edition of Faith Meets Justice!

This week we highlight powerful work for justice happening across the network, including Discerning Deacons ([link removed]) , a project committed to engaging Catholics in the active discernment of the Church about women and the diaconate. Discerning Deacons will bring the fruits of this discernment and conversations taking place across the U.S. throughout the summer directly to Pope Francis in October 2021.

Plus, below, you'll find lots of ways to get involved in ISN's work and programs, as an advocate ([link removed]) , an individual ([link removed]) , or as a member of a high school ([link removed]) , university ([link removed]) , or parish ([link removed]) community. Join us in our work for justice!

We are also excited to welcome the new members of our board of directors ([link removed]) , who will help to steer ISN as we continue to grow in the coming years.

And speaking of growth, ISN is hiring! Click here ([link removed]) for details about our two open positions!

Peace,
