Holy Infant Statement on Addressing Racism
We, the members of the Body of Christ at Holy Infant Catholic Church, share in the mission to care for all members of our communities, honoring each person as unique, sacred, and created in the image of God. We know that the evil of racism cuts to the core of God’s plan for humanity, devaluing the diversity God created within the human family. We lament the loss of lives that have occurred in recent months, as well as in the past. As followers of Christ, we seek to reclaim the God-given sanctity of each person’s inviolable human dignity. As our bishops remind us, “The command of love requires us to make room for others in our hearts. It means that we are indeed our brother’s keeper (Gn 4:9).”
As people of faith, we will intentionally work to create spaces of welcome and opportunities for encounter. Through authentic engagement, we will bring together diverse perspectives and experiences which honor the fullness of God’s plan. We will provide opportunities to learn more about how racism impacts our communities in the areas of employment, housing, wealth, education, criminal justice, and voting. We will pray and work for conversion of both hearts and systems.
