The 14th annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ), an event focused on learning, prayer, networking, and legislative advocacy, will be attended by members of the Boston College community.
The Teach-In, sponsored by the Ignatian Solidarity Network, will take place in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 12 through 14. According to a recent statement by the organization, "Teach-In attendees represent 28 Jesuit universities, over 25 Jesuit high schools, Jesuit parishes, Jesuit Volunteer (JVC) communities, and many other Catholic institutions and organizations."
Among those will be representatives from BC, including Rev. Don MacMillan, S.J., a campus minister, who will be the main celebrant at the Sunday mass at the event.
The IFTJ, started in 1997, commemorates and honors the legacy of six Jesuit priests and their companions who were murdered in El Salvador on Nov. 16, 1989 while advocating for social justice for the impoverished community in the country.
The theme of this year's IFTJ is "The Gritty Reality: Feel It, Think It, Engage It," which encourages people to let the "gritty reality" of society into their lives in order to change it.
