Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ)
October 25-28, 2024
Washington, DC

What is the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice?

The annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) gathers members of the Ignatian Family in solidarity to learn, reflect, pray, network, and advocate in the context of social justice. Participants from Jesuit schools, parishes, and social ministries are empowered, re-energized, inspired, challenged, and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked. After learning about justice issues and connecting them to Catholic Social Tradition, IFTJ participants engage in advocacy to affirm justice in policy and practice.

In 2024, the advocacy issues we will focus on are:

• Humane Migration Reform (immigration justice)
• Care for Creation (environmental justice)
