Private event for JOY Participants*: The J.O.Y. (Justice & Outreach Year) of Formation is an experiential learning program that links Catholic Social Teaching with the real-life challenges experienced by people living on the margins.  I'll be presenting a 2-hour session on what Hope Restored Canada is doing in response to the injustice of sexual exploitation and trafficking here in Canada, and in particular in Saskatoon.

*J.O.Y. at a Glance 

The J.O.Y. (Justice & Outreach Year) of Formation is an experiential learning program that links Catholic Social Teaching with the real-life challenges experienced by people living on the margins. 

During 10 weekend sessions(September – June), the participants will explore various issues of social justice including: 

• International development, Economic Injustice & Peace

• Refugees

• Walking with Indigenous/ Métis people

• Anti-poverty

• Human Dignity

• Health & Elder Care

• Hunger & Food

• Restorative Justice

• Youth & Family

• Care of the Earth & Ecological Justice

By visiting local service agencies, meeting with those who work in these social justice fields and being with the people they serve, participants will gain an opportunity to broaden their understanding of the issues at hand and become equipped with the skills to engage in service outreach. Participants will be invited to enter into a process of personal transformation. For More information click here or  contact Kate O'Gorman kogorman@rcdos.ca
