The Racial Equity team has several goals in mind:

• To further our own understanding and that of St. Margaret of Scotland parishioners of the effects of racism, its history in St. Louis, and the unjust impact that racism has had and continues to have on persons of color.
• To critically examine our own participation as a predominantly white, Catholic parish in the loss of human dignity experienced by our Black and Brown neighbors.
• To recognize the reality of white privilege, to act towards its permanent eradication, and to work towards equity and dignity for all persons created in God’s own image.

The hope is for others to join the team and to add to its energy as they further set a path towards healing and equity in our parish, neighborhoods, city, state, and beyond.
