Using a Gospel framework that is Scripture-based and courageously anti-racist, participants gain both a gospel understanding of racism and the teachings of mainstream racial equity movements.

From Friday evening to Sunday morning, participants are guided through the profound meanings and implications for sound racial analysis that can lead to holistic actions. This 10-hour course provides a thick and true historical narrative to show the distinct nature of America’s original sin of racism. The authors of this guide have taken great care to accurately present racial equity understandings, while providing a Gospel framework to evaluate, enrich, and embellish those teachings.

The aim is for people raced as white to join people of color in combating new and emerging forms of racism by understanding the full picture of historical racism and the forces that fueled slavery and violent domination.

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM on July 31, and our first gathering will take place at 4:45 PM before dinner that evening. The retreat will conclude at 9:55 AM on Sunday. Guests are also welcome to stay for Mass at 10:00 AM and brunch at 10:45 AM if their schedule allows.
