Upcoming Events
Ceasefire Night Walks
Oakland Ceasefire is a movement to stop the killings and more people going to jail. They are uniting to build a culture of peace and healing. They are walking the neighborhoods, carrying this message:
We love you and we want you to be alive and free!

Racial Justice
We are eager to pursue concrete actions to counter racism in all its forms. What can we do as individuals, as small groups, and as a parish to address racial bias and system racism? What sorts of actions can we do most effectively? What roles might we play in the larger community to promote racial justice? If you have an idea that moves you and think it might also move others, let’s explore it. Join us as we discern plans for concrete action.

Testimonials
“The Newman Nonviolent Peacemaking Group has helped me understand and appreciate the power of Jesus’ message of nonviolence. It has reinforced my conviction that all humans are created in God’s image and deserve dignity and respect. I enjoy going to each event because they are unique, informative, and give me hope that we can overcome our problems not with weapons but with words.”
