JustFaith provides a lively and challenging opportunity to read, discuss, pray, experience and be formed by Catholic Social Teaching, Scriptures and hands-on experiences as they relate to the poor and vulnerable in our community, nation and the world.  The small group meets weekly over a period of 30 weeks, starting in mid-September and ending in early May.  Participants experience community as they share their journeys of faith and compassion and are challenged and transformed by the JustFaith process.

St. Camillus Church has had JustFaith groups each year since 2003, with 72 people participating to date.  Most have been parishioners, but we also welcome others from different faith communities.  All participants graduate with a much greater awareness of justice and poverty issues and a desire to get more involved with their local and larger community.  This has included involvement with: our Food Pantries, St. Vincent de Paul, legislative advocacy, tutoring children, educating about and getting involved in our Fair Trade and Hospitality Ministry, Habitat for Humanity overseas trips, Habitat for Humanity in Montgomery County, peace pilgrimage to the Holy Land, mentoring with Silver Spring Interfaith Housing Coalition, environmental and global climate change awareness, Alternative Christmas program, and overall increased involvement within our parish and broader community.
