HISTORY

In the early 1990's Cardinal Bernardin approved the implementation of the Archdiocesan process called "DECISIONS." One of the top priorities voiced by the people in this process was the need to address issues of race and ethnic sensitivity. 

This gave birth to the Workshop on Racism and Ethnic Sensitivity. With this program we hope that Catholics of all races and ethnic groups from all parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago will live together in harmony.

The program consists of three Phases:

Phase 1

This program invites participants to a brief and intense program to sensitize them to racial and ethnic experiences. Parishes are invited to participate at a neighboring parish or to be a hosting parish for a Phase 1.

Phase 2

The mission of the Phase 2 Workshop is to provide continuity for the Workshops on Racism and Ethnic Sensitivity.

Phase 2 does this by training leaders who will present the workshops as a group of 3 to 5 parishes. A pre-requisite for Phase 2 is participation in Phase 1 or Phase 3.

Phase 3

Phase 3 is a replication of the Phase 1 Workshop and is led by a team of parishioners from several parishes. Pastors take a supportive role.

A team is formed by grouping 3 to 5 parishes that participate in Phase 2 training. When the group of parishes replicates the Phase 1 Workshop, it is their Phase 3.
