An annual event focused on social action in Catholic communities will be held in our area this summer. The Social Action Summer Institute (SASI) will be held July 29 – August 1 at Bellarmine University in Louisville. The Institute provides training that covers the foundations of Catholic social teaching and this year’s event focuses on a critical topic in global and local communities, “Addressing Poverty Today.”
The Institute is co-sponsored by the Roundtable Association of Catholic Diocesan Social Action Directors in partnership with USCCB/Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development and Catholic Campaign for Human Development; Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Relief Services. The Institute includes national presenters who will lead sessions throughout the week including: David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, who will offer the keynote address focused on hunger and poverty advocacy efforts; Rev. John Rausch, tireless advocate for justice in Appalachia; Joe Grant of JustFaith Ministries who will focus on transformative learning; Jack Jezreel, director of JustFaith Ministries, who will offer the closing session; Tricia Hoyt, who will offer a session on Biblical Justice; Staff of the USCCB, Catholic Relief Services, and Catholic Charities USA who will lead domestic and international poverty strategy sessions; and liturgy with Most Rev. Ronald Gainer of Lexington and Most Rev. William Medley of Owensboro;
