In 1835\, along with abolitionist Augustus Wattles\, fifteen free black families fled north\, and purchased hundreds of acres in Mercer County. Mulatto Charles Moore plotted the Village of Carthagena in 1840\, and by 1860 more than 600 blacks and mulattos lived on their farms nearby. Hear the history of these pioneers who established Ohio’s largest rural pre-Civil War black community. \nPresenter: Mary Ann Olding\, President & Owner of Old World Research Company URL:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/event/a-lenten-journey-through-black-history-in-rural-ohio-session-2 LOCATION:Live Stream CATEGORIES:Catholic Social Action ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Lent_ashes_palm-cross.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Catholic Social Action Office":MAILTO:csa@catholicaoc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210311T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210311T203000 DTSTAMP:20260406T150627 CREATED:20210203T183119Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210217T024530Z UID:21750-1615489200-1615494600@resources.catholicaoc.org SUMMARY:A Lenten Journey through Black History in Rural Ohio - Session 3 DESCRIPTION:The Catholic Rural Life Conferences and Anti-Racism Task Force of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Social Action Office invite you to join us for a series of three presentations looking at three unique aspects of African American history in southwestern Ohio. \nThe talks will operate independently so attendees can join for the whole series or simply the one or two that work for their schedules.

These Afghan allies and their families are at risk of harm if they are unable to receive long-term safety and permanent legal status in the U.S. \nCongress must immediately support and pass an Afghan Adjustment Act\, which would lift the cloud of legal uncertainty of parole that Afghans currently have and\, instead\, offer them the opportunity to apply to become lawful permanent residents—the same legal status they would have received had they been admitted as refugees. This is crucial to ensure their successful integration and would involve a formal application process that includes background checks\, consistent with previous adjustment acts. The last thing we want is to see any of these people added to our country’s undocumented population or forced to return to danger. \nPlease pass an Afghan Adjustment Act without further delay. \nClick the link below to log in and send your message:\nhttps://www.votervoice.net/BroadcastLinks/PBlHkfvY9OoW4i7UaFbk0A URL:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/event/take-action-today-urge-members-of-congress-to-advance-an-afghan-adjustment-act LOCATION:OH CATEGORIES:CSA Action Center,CSA Action Center - New END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220524T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220524T140000 DTSTAMP:20260406T150627 CREATED:20220502T154601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220502T154623Z UID:42204-1653397200-1653400800@resources.catholicaoc.org SUMMARY:Breaking Open the Sin of Racism- Leader Training DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Breaking Open the Sin of Racism Leader Training.  In this session we will address how to facilitate these discussion opportunities in your community both in person and online.  Complete the included form to register and receive a Zoom Link for the upcoming sessions. \n  \n\n\n \n \n Breaking Open the Sin of Racism- Leader Training\n A virtual training to assist leaders and staff members in successfully offering the Breaking Open the Sin of Racism program in their parish or community. \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Parish or Community Organization(Required)Session Preference(Required)A Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.\n \n Tuesday\, May 24 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm EST\n \n \n Thursday\, June 2 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm EST\n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)CAPTCHA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/event/breaking-open-the-sin-of-racism-leader-training/2022-05-24 LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Catholic Social Action ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/black-madonna-of-czestochowa-irek-szelag.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Catholic Social Action Office":MAILTO:csa@catholicaoc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220919T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220930T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T150627 CREATED:20220919T162452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220919T162452Z UID:48169-1663574400-1664557200@resources.catholicaoc.org SUMMARY:Allow Dreamers to Take Part in Building Our Country’s Future DESCRIPTION:During this year’s National Migration Week\, I join with my fellow Catholics and others of good will across the United States in urging Congress to enact legislation that would promote the full integration of Dreamers before the 117th Congress ends.  \nDreamers are among those living on the existential peripheries of our society\, but the common good requires that they be embraced\, not least of all because of their daily contributions. I am especially concerned about those currently protected by DACA because of ongoing litigation and its consequences for them\, their families\, their employers\, and communities depending on them. \nI am grateful for bipartisan passage of the American Dream and Promise Act by the House of Representatives last year. All of Congress must do its part to provide certainty to Dreamers\, as well as the families\, employers\, and communities depending on them. As Pope Francis reminds us\, “We cannot leave to future generations the burden of responsibility for decisions that need to be made now.” \n       Please prioritize the passage of legislation providing Dreamers with a pathway to\npermanent legal status and citizenship. \n\nClick this link to log in and send your message \n  URL:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/event/allow-dreamers-to-take-part-in-building-our-countrys-future LOCATION:OH CATEGORIES:CSA Action Center END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230304T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230304T163000 DTSTAMP:20260406T150627 CREATED:20230208T201310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230221T013514Z UID:52531-1677920400-1677947400@resources.catholicaoc.org SUMMARY:Laudato Si Action Platform Conference DESCRIPTION:Join people of all ages from across the Archdiocese to pray; to grow in fellowship; to learn about the Laudato Si’ Action Platform; and to act together in our parishes\, schools\, homes\, and congregations to care for God’s creation. \nEveryone* who has a passion for caring for God’s creation and wants to be a part of something big\, bold\, and vital is welcome.\n(*Everyone includes individuals; families; ministers in families of parishes; Catholic school students\, teachers\, and staff; nonprofit staff and leaders; vowed religious; healthcare professionals; and all roles in the Archdiocese not previously listed.) \nRegister here. ***Registration deadline is Wed.\, Feb. 22.*** URL:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/event/laudato-si-action-platform-conference LOCATION:Curran Place – University of Dayton\, 1700 S Patterson Blvd.\, Dayton\, OH\, 45409\, United States CATEGORIES:Catholic Schools Office,CSA Action Center,CSA Action Center - New ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/LSAP-goals-picture_Michelle-Bley-Sisters-of-Charity-Cincinnati.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Catholic Social Action Office":MAILTO:csa@catholicaoc.org GEO:39.7305883;-84.1928435 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Curran Place – University of Dayton 1700 S Patterson Blvd. Dayton OH 45409 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1700 S Patterson Blvd.:geo:-84.1928435,39.7305883 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231118T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231118T150000 DTSTAMP:20260406T150627 CREATED:20231002T141417Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231004T144500Z UID:61762-1700298000-1700319600@resources.catholicaoc.org SUMMARY:Fair Trade Sale DESCRIPTION:Come to the Fair Trade Sale in the Meyers Room at the University of Dayton Curran Place. \nThere will be entertainment and local vendors with ethically sourced products from around the world.  There will be clothing\, home goods\, accessories\, toys\, coffee\, food and more. \nClick here for flyer.

Now is the time to reach out to your members of Congress and encourage them to pass a Child Tax Credit that does more for the poorest children. \nEvery year\, the Child Tax Credit (CTC) lifts millions of American families out of poverty and helps them live according to their dignity and with greater economic security. While the USCCB has long supported the CTC\, the current credit must be improved because it excludes many poor children. We must encourage Congress to support children and families by passing a strengthened CTC that prioritizes the poorest children.  Improving the credit in this way ensures that the lowest-income families have access to full benefits that foster the welcoming of new life and the building of the family. \nAs the U.S. bishops stated in their pastoral document\, Putting Children And Families First\, “Those with the greatest need require the greatest response. This is the ‘option for the poor’ in action. While every family needs support\, poor families and families facing discrimination carry the greatest burdens and require the most help. With limited resources\, we need to focus assistance on those with the greatest needs.” \nAn improved Child Tax Credit should also: \n\ncontinue to include mixed-status families\,\nbe available for the year before birth to help mothers in need welcome new life\,\nensure the credit does not undermine the building of families\, and\nnot offset the cost of the credit by cutting programs that serve those most in need\n\nPlease urge your members of Congress to work together to improve the Child Tax Credit to help support families and lift children out of poverty. \nWe encourage you to add your own personal story about why strengthening the Child Tax Credit is important to you. \nYou can read the most recent USCCB letter advocating for an improved Child Tax Credit here. \nTAKE ACTION NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://resources.catholicaoc.org/event/ask-congress-to-act-now-to-strengthen-the-child-tax-credit LOCATION:OH CATEGORIES:CSA Action Center,CSA Action Center - New END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240204T133000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240204T163000 DTSTAMP:20260406T150627 CREATED:20240104T134451Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240104T152447Z UID:64727-1707053400-1707064200@resources.catholicaoc.org SUMMARY:Annual Local Foods Conference DESCRIPTION:The Southeast-St Mary Deanery Catholic Rural Life announces its annual Local Foods Conference will be on Sunday\, February 4\, 2024\, from 1:30 – 4:30 PM at St. George Church in Georgetown\, Ohio.
