The Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of Chicago 

incarnates the Gospel of Jesus Christ 

as an anti-racist institution 

for the purpose of dismantling racism 

in our church and world 

as we collaborate with other anti-racist institutions 

to create a racially unbiased and just society.

Our organizational and formational structures,

policies, practices and forms of decision-making include

participation of, leadership from and institutionalized

accountability to

people of color at all levels.

We are committed to the ongoing dynamic and

faith-centered

struggle to dismantle racism and construct socially just

patterns

of relationships within our ecclesiastical institutions

as we strive to build a society that dwells together

in God's unconditional and universal love.
