Mission Week 2012
Each February the Marquette community pauses to explore the richness of our Catholic and Jesuit tradition. Mission Week is the time set aside to recall our larger purpose and the Ignatian heritage and spirituality that guide us throughout the year.
Mission Week February 19-24, 2012: Who is My Neighbor?
Please join us as we explore the question asked of Jesus in the Good Samaritan parable: "Who is my neighbor?" Because of this story, people all over the world speak of being a good samaritan or of attending those in need.
Who are our neighbors--locally, nationally and internationally? Throughout the week we will reflect on this and examine how we can create international networks to address issues of faith, justice and ecology.
This guide presents selected resources for the week's key speakers.
