Past Events

As has been noted, JFC grew out of the “Just Faith” group formed at St. Edward’s church in the Fall of 2021, following the killing of George Floyd and the extensive local protests that occurred in Richmond and so many other locations. The Just Faith group has also hosted the following racial justice-oriented activities:

​

  • Nov. 2022: hosted a viewing and discussion of a film program on the life of Sister Thea Bowman (“Going Home like a Shooting Star”) with over 20 parishioners attending. This program gave increased attention to November being Black Catholic History month.

  • “Zke” Zimmerman author program: over 50 people attended and participated in small group discussions of topics raised in Col. Zimmerman’s book “A Call to Share” on Feb. 11, 2023.

  • My Neighbor’s Voice: Various sessions of MNV, a facilitated listening table exercise, were held in March and September 2023 and again in 2024. Participants enjoyed the opportunity to share their thoughts and life experiences on a wide range of topics in a welcoming and accepting setting. Several commented on how the structure of MNV allows participants to truly get to know each other.

  • Saintly Six: In the fall of 2024, St. Edward's Just Faith members hosted a series of video viewings and discussions on the "Saintly Six", six African-Americans who are on the path to formal designation as Saints within the Catholic Church. This series was done in partnership with Virginia Catholics for Racial Justice (VCRJ).

  • Armstrong Leadership Program student filming May 31, 2025
