2024 Summit on Depolarization for Catholic Schools

The Catholic Civil Dialogue Initiative

All ADW Catholic High Schools are invited to participate in this gathering on October 11, 2024 at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bethesda, MD. We will gather from 9:30AM – 2:30PM to discuss how political polarization impacts our schools. Lunch and a light breakfast will be provided.

During our conversation, we will address what the Church teaches about civil dialogue and how our faith can offer a pathway for peace building. Teachers, campus ministers, and school administrators are welcome to attend, but registration is limited. Please fill out this registration form or contact Kathryn Yanik at [email protected] for more information.
