Diocese Sponsors Assembly to Focus on Framework for Pastoral Action

The Diocese of Joliet sponsored an assembly on Saturday, which featured Jack Jezreel, founder and president of JustFaith Ministries, who gave a rousing talk on discipleship, evangelization and charity — which are the three pillars of the Framework for Pastoral Action.
