Living in Harmony

Suggested Activity to Promote Racial Harmony for Individuals

Recommendations for All Catholics

  1. That each of us ponder the implications of this teaching and enter into the conversion
    God calls us to experience.
  2. That we confront and reject any racial stereotypes, remarks and prejudices.
  3. That we consider inviting persons of other races and cultures into our gatherings and
    homes.
  4. That we participate in Archdiocesan and parish efforts to promote racial and social
    justice including fair wages, housing and employment.
  5. That we refrain from membership in clubs or organizations which are not open to a
    racially or culturally diverse membership, or that we actively invite as guests and
    promote as members those currently excluded.
  6. That we vote for public officials who are committed to human life, human dignity and
    racial, cultural and systemic justice.
  7. That we support church and community-based initiatives and efforts to correct
    discriminatory injustices in order to empower and lift up the poor.
