TABLE: Teaching and Building Lifelong Engagement
An OSJ formation opportunity for current JHS parents
A webinar series for parents, caregivers, and guardians
Education for Justice (EFJ) invites parents, caregivers, and guardians to engage more deeply with Catholic Social Teaching (CST) through TABLE, a facilitated webinar series designed to help families reflect, pray, and grow before, during, and after their students’ immersion trips and social justice experiences. Participants will be equipped with teen-focused materials and discussion questions to spark meaningful conversations around CST and opportunities for self-reflection to deepen their own formation.
Two 1-hour expert-led sessions on CST Foundations—Help adults understand key CST elements, how they connect to immersion experiences, and how to talk about them with their student.
Zoom links for live event will be sent closer to date; the recording will also be provided.
- Reflection Guides and Conversation Starters — Prompts for personal prayer and meaningful family conversations
- Flexible Participation – Join live or watch the recorded session later with unlimited 2026 access to the recordings
- Related Prayers – Integrate faith and reflection before and after immersion experiences
