Welcome to our page, managed by your fellow parishioners who serve on St. Dominic’s Racial Equity Task Force. Our Task Force works to make St. Dominic Church an inclusive, welcoming space for all members of our community. We believe that “if racial justice and peace will ever be attained, it must begin in the church,” in the words of University of Dayton history professor Shannen Dee Williams. We seek to live our faith out loud, by building an anti-racist Catholic community at St. Dominic and increasing dialogue among parishioners about the realities of systemic racism.
Our Learning/Action committee members host activities and dialogues that foster conversation, awareness and action among St. Dominic parishioners around topics of racial equity and justice. Our Cultural Celebrations committee members organize events that boost our awareness of diverse saints and cultures.
We hope you will support our efforts to put faith into action and make St. Dominic an inclusive, multicultural and anti-racist community characterized by freedom and justice for all.
