Pope Francis has denounced domestic abuse and violence. Join leaders from across the nation to learn how the Church, through you, can respond in your own community. Leaders participated in a 2-day symposium on programs and resources grounded in Catholic Social Teaching that addressed domestic abuse, to be better prepared to champion a compassionate response in their parishes and dioceses.
