Alumnus Dr. Ansel Augustine's New Book Bridges Faith and Social Justice

We are delighted to celebrate the imminent publication of "Praying with Our Feet: Encountering God in the Margins" by distinguished alumnus Dr. Ansel Augustine. Through the lens of Ignatian spirituality, this work demonstrates how to actively embody religious beliefs and Catholic social principles while walking alongside those on society's edges, with particular attention to the experiences of the Black Catholic community.

Dr. Augustine, known for his extensive work in youth ministry and his dedication to Black Catholic ministry, brings his wealth of experience and deep spiritual insights to this compelling work. The book invites readers to explore how active engagement with communities at the margins can deepen our understanding of faith and social justice.
"Praying with Our Feet" is now available for preorder from Loyola Press
