Catholic Response to Racism

Catholic Resource List

WELCOME! to this list of resources from fellow Catholics (and others who offer good ideas for us to consider) on racism which will hopefully help us become more educated, intentional, and holy! Let us continue to strive for sainthood as we grow in communion with one another, fighting for the dignity of all human persons from womb to tomb! Thank you for being here.
