St. Martin De Porres, Patron Saint of Diversity, Equity, + Inclusion

While I believe every Saint has written or done something that is still relevant for today, there are a few that have words or actions that can most directly show us a path or shed light on the choices we must make in our chaotic and dark times, especially here in the US. They remind us that not everything is unprecedented, and we can look to their examples. So many of us feel we must do something - read about these Saints to challenge your ideas or seek guidance.

These will be posted once per week for the foreseeable future, with reflection questions, donation options, action items, and saint info and quotes: like an expanded version of our current saint feast day format.

These posts would be great to discuss at your church’s Sunday School or study group, social studies or religion classrooms, or to journal about on your own. If you have suggestions for future posts, feel free to email us.
