JustFaith is an educational and spiritual process that seeks to integrate personal spirituality and social ministry. The goal of JustFaith is to empower participants to develop a passion for justice and to express this passion in concrete acts of social ministry. OPJ provides support and training to parishes engaging in this program, including parish presentations on the JustFaith process, recruitment support, facilitator training, and on-going engagement opportunities for JustFaith graduates.

New From JustFaith Ministries- Engaging Spirituality

Engaging Spirituality invites Catholic adults to break open their lives,
penetrate the realities of our times, and explore the intersection between
Christian spirituality and Gospel justice. Participants focus on the practical
challenges of following Jesus, engaging in contemplation while immersing
themselves in the heart of our fragmented world.
