Check your local time here. This meeting is part of a series of monthly online gatherings for Religious from around the globe to come together in prayer for our world and to shine a light on the most pressing justice issues emerging in your respective nations and regions.
Every 9 August commemorates the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
There are an estimated 476 million Indigenous Peoples in the world living across 90 countries…Indigenous Peoples have sought recognition of their identities, their way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources for years. Yet, throughout history, their rights have been violated. Indigenous Peoples today, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world.
We invite you to join us, in advance of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, to raise awareness of the needs and rights of Indigenous Peoples. Therefore, we are especially inviting individuals to share their experience in working with Indigenous Peoples. What are the justice concerns related to Indigenous Peoples in your region? How can we stand in solidarity, championing the rights of Indigenous? As usual, all voices and justice concerns are welcome in this communal space.
Sisters, Brothers, priests, lay associates, and partners in mission are all welcome! English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish interpretation will be available.
Click here to register. Please contact communications@jcor2030.org with any questions.
We will convene in this manner on the second Friday of each month. We hope you and your members will join us on Friday, 8 August and for future “Global Community Hour” gatherings!
