Brother Fredrick Ayoo, S.M.

Brother Valentine Chola Mulenga, S.M.

Brother Erik Otiende, S.M. 

Moderated by Céline A. Jacquemin, Ph.D. Professor of Political Science, St. Mary’s University 

Marianists located in missions in Africa will discuss their work and its importance to the local communities. Projects which will be highlighted are education, parent training, special needs students, single-mom support and training. 

The 2022 Conference on Justice and Social Concerns is inspired by Fratelli Tutti: Encyclical Letter on Fraternity and Social Friendship by Pope Francis and the concept of synodality, a term the Catholic Church used to describe the process of togetherness and collaboration. 

The three-day conference will reflect on the last two chapters, Paths of Renewed Encounter and Religions in Service of Fraternity in Our World. 

The conference will examine the chapters as they speak to community, action and dialogue.

All events are free and open to the public. Unless otherwise stated, all sessions will be held in the University Center, Conference Room A. To find daily links and detailed conference information, including discussion topics and questions and speaker biographies, visit www.stmarytx.edu/conference.
