A Faith That Does Justice
A Faith That Does Justice is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need. Our vision is people intentionally living their faith in action.
Our programs focus on two strategic areas:
Acting to help those in need with a particular emphasis on immigrant populations.
Showing how unjust systems marginalize people and encouraging our followers to put their faiths into action to address injustice.
Program highlights include:
Fireside Chats – exploring issues of current social justice interest.
The Weekly Word – a weekly email that gives voice to different faith leaders across the country who discuss social justice issues from a faith perspective, reaching more than 4,000 people.
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program – free virtual and in-person instruction for English language learners in Greater Boston, enrolled more than 600 students from 2018 to 2023.
Grab & Go meal program – food preparation and distribution for people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in downtown Boston.
Spanish Mass – gathering for the Spanish‑speaking community for mass and dinner for immigrants who do not speak English.
Newsletter – weekly spiritual reflection by qualified theologians and social justice and event news circulated weekly by email to more than 4,000 followers.
Continual learning opportunities – virtual connection to our subscribers, including increased use of “live” and pre‑recorded videos on social media.
