Collaborative for Catholic Organizing

Our community exists to foster community, nourish spiritual development and build power between organizers, theologians, and people of faith committed to community organizing within the Catholic context

What we do:

We work together across organizations to:

  1. Align: Deepen the connection between Catholic Social Teaching, liberation theology, and  Community Organizing through resource development, sharing, and collaboration. 

  2. Build Community: Foster deep relationships that build communities of resiliency and trust between organizers, major stakeholders, and justice builders working in Catholic spaces.

  3. Strategize - Intentionally collaborate and build power for social change through shared power analysis, movement alignment, and coordinated efforts to situate organizing within Catholic Social Teaching. 

  4. Grow - nurture people in both their organizing skills and spiritual depth in the work of organizing, especially in helping participants connect their work to the Catholic faith.  Increase capacity to work in Catholic contexts and spiritual sustainability of the work
