Bellarmine has had an active Dismantling Racism Team since 2007. In April 2021, responding to the Black Lives Matter movement, parish leadership approved a Bellarmine Chapel Statement on Racial Justice in which we collectively committed to “becoming an anti-racist parish community.” The Dismantling Racism Team works across the parish to help us live into this statement. We focus on building relationships with communities of color, educating our community on the realities of systemic racism, and advocating with our brothers and sisters of color for anti-racist policies.

You can learn more about our Dismantling Racism Team here.  We welcome you to attend a meeting to see if this group feels like a good fit to you.  Our Team meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. on Zoom. Email our Chair, Jeff Hutchinson, to join.
