Thank you to everyone who joined us for Planting Seeds: Solidarity Through the Lens of Housing and Race. We were blessed by an evening filled with meaningful conversation, thoughtful reflection, and inspiring engagement as we explored what solidarity calls us to in our communities and beyond.
We are grateful to all who attended, shared their voices, and helped make this gathering such a powerful experience. If you were unable to join us — or would like to revisit the conversation — stay tuned for the event video coming soon!
We’re also excited to continue the conversation with the next installment of the Planting Seeds Series coming this fall. We look forward to growing together in dialogue, understanding, and action.
As we prepare for Solidarity: Through the Lens of Housing and Race, we encourage you to visit the Mill Creek: Black Metropolis exhibit at the Missouri History Museum.
Mill Creek Valley was once a thriving center of Black life in St. Louis—rich in culture, business, and community—before being intentionally erased in 1959 in the name of “urban renewal.”
This exhibit offers powerful context for our conversation, helping us better understand the historical roots of housing inequities and racial injustice in our city.
Come ready to reflect, learn, and engage—grounded in the stories that still shape St. Louis today.

Join Brother Ken Homan, SJ, as he reflects on the sacred connection between faith and labor. In this inspiring conversation, Ken shares how Jesuit formation, personal stories, and spiritual practice shape his commitment to worker justice and human dignity. This interview invites us to see work as a holy expression of creativity, community, and God’s presence—and offers hope and insight for all who seek a more just and compassionate world.
