Racial Justice Audit Update
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Racial Justice Audit survey distributed at Diocesan level for responses. The Mission Institute (MI) received 62 responses (out of 105 surveys) which is a 59% return rate. Ten people volunteered to be interviewed by MI which is the next step in the audit process. MI will contact interviewees in the near future to schedule interviews. MI will analyze the interviews and survey responses and will provide a report which will be shared at the Diocesan Convention in November.
MI will invite parishes to participate in the survey process next year in 2024, provided funding is approved by the Board of Trustees. This two-year process is in accordance with R3-2021, the Racial Justice Audit Resolution which passed with a majority vote at the 2021 Diocesan Convention.
