About this Event
General Public
Intimate, thought-provoking discussion and sharing of story.
“We are sent to the margins not to make a difference, but so that the folks on the margins will make us different.” – Father Greg Boyle, SJ
Father Greg's renowned work with Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles has touched countless lives, and this evening encounter with him offers a unique opportunity to learn from his experiences along the way. Over 30 plus years, Father Greg has buried more than 200 young people who lives were cut short as a result of gang violence. Wanting to do more than just conduct funerals, he founded Homeboy Industries, a safe haven where former gang members and the recently jailed can be reintroduced to society and become contributing members of the community. Each year, over 120,000 young people arrive in search of counselling, high-school degrees and free tattoo removal. But that’s not all.
