Faith in Action and PICO Present
Belong Movement Kickoff Dinner
Thursday May 30, 2019 at 6:30pm
Holy Angels Catholic Parish
107 San Pedro Rd, Colma
You are warmly invited to a dinner to kick off Faith in Action Bay Area's participation in the Belong Movement. This movement seeks to address the racial anxieties and divisiveness in our state by bridging across race, faith, and status. We believe that the path forward starts with us choosing to belong to each other, and from this choice, we can build the conditions necessary for all of our families to thrive.
To get a taste of what Belong is all about,
watch this video
from the Belong curriculum.
