John - ISN is imagining a path forward, walk with us.
John,
We are so close—to the new year and to our end of year goal! We need to raise $16,974 before the calendar turns. If you can, please consider making a gift to ISN before midnight on 12/31.
A gift of $25, $50, or $100 would make a huge difference in our ability to continue providing formative and empowering experiences, resources, and opportunities in the Ignatian tradition. Please give today!

Peace,

"Coming to the [Ignatian Solidarity Network's] Teach-In is a really inclusive space. Being Catholic can be really challenging sometimes because it often feels really exclusive.
Myself as a woman who feels called toleadership in her Church and doesn’t really know how to hold that space, I often am challenged at places, even [a Jesuit university], which are so rooted in Ignatian Spirituality and the Jesuit tradition.
A place like the Teach-In, where there are women voices, LGBTQIA+ voices, Black voices, Indigenous voices, to hear these voices that aren’t the stereotypical white man wearing the collar means a lot to someone who doesn’t always know where her place is." Olivia Hastie, Jesuit University Student
“In this year of solidarity, it’s important to get to know the marginalized and walk 'with' marginalized people rather than just 'for'. I think that the Ignatian Solidarity Network does a great job of doing that, and I really wanted to be part of this Teach-In.
It’s really inspiring how [they] are able to not just connect with certain groups but every group... The way that they’re able to fight for everyone, it’s really nice.” Akaal Bhuntani, Georgetown Prep
"One of the things that I really appreciated about coming to the Teach-in was the unity of purpose and the togetherness. For advocacy. For social change. And not just each of us individually saying something, but coming together as the Ignatian family.
I think it says something that we find an identity together to do this because when we do it together it's more. It says that this is the Catholic perspective.
This is not something that we each came up with out of nowhere. This is based on our beliefs. This is part of who we are, not only individuals but as a group as well." Luke Navarro, St. Louis University High School
