GCH flyer January 2025We are pleased to invite you to JCoR’s Global Community Hour on Friday, 10 January 2025, from 7:00-8:00am (Guatemala City, Mexico City) / 8:00-9:00am (New York, Bogotá, Havana, Lima) / 10:00-11:00am (Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires) / 3:00-4:00pm (Central Africa time) / 6:30-7:30pm (India Standard time). 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.

The theme for this month’s gathering is land grabbing. Land grabs are large-scale land deals and acquisitions that transpire without the free, prior, and informed consent of communities. We are especially inviting individuals to share experiences of land grabbing in their region and community responses to land grabs. 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, 10 January and for future “Global Community Hour” gatherings!
