What is Faith-Based Organizing?

Have you wanted to make a change in the world around you? Have you ever set out to make a difference only to find that your ideas for change may be quickly shot down? It is as though you are never heard.

Faith-based organizing is a process of listening to concerns and sharing ideas to help make positive changes in neighborhoods, cities, and state.

Presently, our parish is working with a group called the San Diego Organizing Project (SDOP), a faith-based organizing ministry. The initial step of SDOP is to know who we are at St. Rose of Lima. A representative for SDOP, is making one-on-one visits to many of our parishioners. The representative's purpose is to simply ask parishioners what concerns them about their neighborhood, city, or environment around them. Some of these concerns may include gang violence, drug abuse in the neighborhood, traffic issues, immigration problems, etc.

Very often, our elected officials, clergy, or other leaders will tell us what they think the problem may be in our society without listening to what others think. SDOP and St. Rose of Lima Parish staff want to change that. We want to hear from you. If you would like to meet with our organizing representative, please call the parish to set up a one-on-one appointment.

If you would like to know more about the organizing project, please visit the SDOP link below and see how other parishes have been involved in faith-based organizing.
