Conversation with a Descendant and a Jesuit: Towards Healing the history of Jesuit Slaveholding
Nine years ago, the Jesuits of this country came to know in a new way of their history of slaveholding, and the sale of 272 individuals, and the use of those funds to help keep Georgetown University economically afloat.
Since that time, Jesuits of the US and Descendants of that sale have together paved a way forward, a path towards reconciliation, forming a foundation, The Descendants Truth and Reconciliation Foundation, which is now is in its third year of providing programming to Descendants of Jesuit slaveholding anywhere in the United States.
On Tuesday, October 21, St. Francis Xavier Parish will host a conversation with Katrina Albrandt, a Descendant from that sale, and Scott Santarosa, SJ, former provincial when the DTR Foundation was begun. Learn about this history, ask questions, and grow in a way of understanding the depths to which we are called to be reconciled.
Event will consist of a light breakfast, followed by a presentation, and conversation.
