Listening Session On Racism Since the tragic and horrific events of Charlottesville Virginia just one year ago, we have seen the effect and impact that racism has had on our society. The Bishops of the United States has formed a committee to focus and address the sin of racism. Here in the Diocese of Brooklyn, Bishop DiMarzio has formed a commission on Racism and Social Justice. The goal of this commission is to deal with the social and religious problems that racism in all of its forms presents to us. The commission would like to hear from all of the faithful of the Diocese of Brooklyn. To that end we will be hosting an open listening session for all the faithful of the diocese to attend. This session is meant to be an opportunity for us to share how racism has impacted our parishes and the church as a whole. This session will be held on Saturday November 17 beginning at 11:00AM at St. Mark Parish located at 2609 East 19th Street and Saturday December 8 beginning at 11:00AM at Holy Family Parish located at 175-20 74th Avenue.
