Members of the Marianist Family and friends are invited to help undo racism by making a commitment to a Pledge to Eliminate Racism.
Pledge to Eliminate Racism additional info.

To do so, individuals, communities, and institutions are invited to:

1. Mention one way they have already worked against racism,
2. Mention a new way they plan to combat it.

You can download the Pledge by clicking Here. We encourage you to print out a copy, sign and return it to MSJC. Or you can email your response to apsjustice@hotmail.com. We will post responses on the MSJC website and publish them in Family Online as an encouragement to all Marianists in this important effort.

The Marianist Family Council of North America adopted this pledge and has placed the Marianist Family on record as committed to working to eliminate racism. In a letter dated Jan. 17, 2005, the holiday commemorating Martin Luther King Jr., the Council called all members of the Marianist Family to “make a Pledge to eliminate racism and welcome the gifts of other cultures.”

Their action was the culmination of many months’ work by the Anti-Racism Issue Team which developed the Pledge. The Marianist Family Council of North America consists of two leaders each from the Marianist Sisters, the Society of Mary and the Marianist Lay Network.
