Greetings!

May this newsletter find you well!

 

I hope you will enjoy this month's lesson plan on the relationship between labor and immigration law, the Lenten reflections on God's gift of air, and a prayer for peace. In the next few weeks, look for a film review on Margin Call, more on Economic Justice for All, and a backgrounder on CST and financial reform.
