Ministry leaders here at Christ, Prince of Peace, with the help of the Peace and Justice Commission of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, are prepared to lead this faith community into a deeper understanding of the topic racism and social justice, why it’s so important to have the conversation, and how we, as Catholics, can and should respond to it. 

We are all familiar with family income—we have to consider it once a year when we fill out our income tax return.  But what about a family’s wealth (defined as your assets minus your debts)?  In this presentation, Ray Boshara will explain how wealth is distributed across the United States, the large gap between the “haves” and the “have nots”, why the gap has persisted over time and how it impacts families.
