CFJ is happy to work with catechetical leaders who are looking to more fully integrate Catholic Social Teaching and service and justice experiences into their ministries.

• Trying to find a way to make a service experience more meaningful and lasting for your students?
• Hoping to hammer home the connection between faith and service?
• Working on an educational social justice element to supplement service experiences?

CFJ draws on years of innovative programming and our team members’ widespread areas of expertise to provide unique consultation to Catholic parishes and schools.  And our ever-growing library is a great place to find resources for youth ministry, justice advocacy and the practice of faithjustice.

To arrange a visit to the CFJ, or to schedule a consultation, please contact Mike Laskey.
