The D’Amour Center for Faith, Service & Justice collaborates with various student organizations to present our annual Social Justice Series (SJS), a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering a community that is actively informed and involved in societal issues. 

The series begins on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 20) with a servant leadership retreat for the Fifth Form, featuring a presentation by alumnus Eli Taylor '19, who is currently serving as an Assistant for Liturgy and Church Operations at Fordham University while pursuing his Master of Theology degree there. 

Our weekly series then begins on Tuesday, January 28, with Canterbury graduate Tony Walters '81, the Director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion of the New York State Unified Court System. The SJS will run every Tuesday through March 4. Keep checking our D’Amour Center page periodically for updates and more information.

As always, they can stop in at any time or schedule a specific time with the DCL. Please contact Alison Bailey, Director of the DCL, with any questions.
