Ignatian Family Teach-In
Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ)
Washington, DC
What is the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice?
The annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) gathers members of the Ignatian Family in solidarity to learn, reflect, pray, network, and advocate in the context of social justice. Participants from Jesuit schools, parishes, and social ministries are empowered, re-energized, inspired, challenged, and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked. After learning about justice issues and connecting them to Catholic Social Tradition, IFTJ participants engage in advocacy to affirm justice in policy and practice.
In 2024, the advocacy issues we focused on were:
- Humane Migration Reform (immigration justice)
- Care for Creation (environmental justice)
Want to see some of the fabulous keynote speakers and breakout sessions? Watch them here!

Loyola students take part in the IFTJ various other ways, too. You can submit a workshop or Ignatian speaker proposal. Ask the CSA team for details. And check out these videos from the 2023 Public Witness, where Mary Rittle, '27 and Thomas Crabtree, '25 both spoke.
