ASJP’s mission focuses on enhancing social justice interests and awareness among young adults through the gospel message and collaboration with members of the Marianist Family who strive for justice. We recognize that young adults are oftentimes underserved in parish and faith group settings, yet remain a tremendous resource of experience and leadership for our Marianist future.
Our Mission
Adele Social Justice Project
Engaging Young Adults in Social Justice
Each Advent and Lent Season, ASJP’s core team hosts interactive social media campaigns, primarily on Facebook. We create awareness about a specific social justice or faith issue, and provide prayer and reflection resources for our followers, encouraging them to witness injustice in our world, analyze its consequences and act to create a more just society. During this Lent, we focused on highlighting the census through the eyes of faith. How did Jesus encounter the census during His life? How can His lessons be applied to how the census can affect our neighbors and communities? You can follow along with the Adele Social Justice Project on this year’s Facebook campaigns

The Encounter & Elevate Project is an opportunity for young adults to reflect and share their personal, unique encounters with social justice and the injustices they have experienced in their lives. By responding to a variety of questions, participants add their personal experience to a collection of others’ experiences, highlighting both the injustices, along with acts of social justice, that young adults encounter through the Marianist lens. ASJP is currently collecting postcards with written responses for this project to post on our Facebook page. Please let us know if your community would like to participate in this project (we can send you postcards), or if you know of any upcoming events where we could distribute postcards for young adults!

In the spring of 2019, ASJP co-sponsored an intergenerational retreat in Indianapolis titled “Radical Hospitality: Deepening Our Commitment to Social Justice.” The retreat focused on how we live out radical hospitality in our work for justice, particularly drawing from the Marianist tradition and Mary's example. Over 50 participants from all ages and regions attended the retreat, and we hope to host another intergenerational retreat in the near future.
