Mission:

“Small group dialogue as a tool for change!”

Vision:

“The name “Forum” was chosen to reflect the emphasis on people and the belief that small group dialogue facilitates change.”

The Jesuit Forum for Social Faith and Justice was established in 2007 as the social and ecological justice centre of the Jesuits in English Canada in order to offer:

  • Ways for people to reconnect with the energy of their deep hopes for a reconciled and thriving world;
  • Paths towards greater freedom and authenticity through the sharing of personal experiences;
  • A friendly space where people can feel heard, affirmed and empowered to think and act differently; and
  • A new and creative way of engaging on ecological and social justice issues at personal, communal and global levels.
