Exploring Intersections
Are you looking for constructive, nuanced conversation about the big issues of our day? Join Catholic Sisters and other panelists for a year-long monthly discussion series "Exploring Intersections: Catholic Sisters on Racism, Migration and Climate."

Each month, we’ll focus on a social issue and explore how it intersects with racism, migration and climate in a thought-provoking and engaging conversation.

The first episode, featuring FSPA Director of Affiliation, Beth Allen, will take place on March 10 at 3 p.m. Central and focus on topics of gender equity.
