How do we fulfill God’s mission for us here on earth?   \nThe Shifting Landscape of Immigration Reform Sr. Elizabeth Avalos\, BVM and Sr. Marilyn Wilson\, presentersOur Catholic faith acknowledges that each person has inherent dignity because she or he is created in the image and likeness of God.  Because of this\, all our national policies\, including our immigration policies\, should respect and protect the dignity of each person.  Immigration reform is nothing new.  In the past five years this struggle for reform has intensified and keeps shifting. Where are we now?  What can be done?  What can you do as a Christian?  As a citizen? \nRestorative Justice:  Biblical Foundations/Current Applications Sr. MaryAnn Cantlon\, presenterWhat is restorative justice?  How do our Sacred Scriptures teach us to respond when we have been wronged or have wronged others?  How may we apply these teachings to our current penal system? \nThe Transformational Power of Immersion: Student Stories Anne Maloney\, ModeratorListen to stories from young people who have ministered to the poor in a variety of settings throughout the world\, leaving their homes to immerse themselves in another culture and way of life. \nThe Joy of the Gospel: Following Jesus at the San Jose Catholic Worker Fumi Tosu\, MDiv\, PresenterHow can we follow the Christ of the poor in our own city?
