The 11th annual Social Justice Convocation held Oct. 5 at Boston College High School included Mass, workshops, small-group discussions, and keynote speaker Janine Carreiro, whom Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley awarded the inaugural Pope Francis Social Justice Award.
Following the creation of an Archdiocesan Social Justice Ministry at last year’s convocation, this year’s event focused on the commissioning of representatives from parishes to go forth and change their communities as ministers of peace and justice. Throughout the day, there were opportunities for networking with exhibitors from various Catholic social justice organizations.
