"The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness"

Please join the First Friday Club on Friday, October 7th in welcoming Father Greg Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. This speaker luncheon will kick off our 37th season at 12 noon, back at the Union League Club. It will be a wonderful gathering of old and new friends after a long pandemic!

Guest speaker Fr. Gregory Boyle share what he has learned in three decades working with marginalized populations at Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, Calif.—that love is the answer, community is the context, and tenderness is the connective tissue. Tenderness reflects the foundational notion that there are no us and them, only us. Homeboy seeks to be what the world is invited to become. Kinship cannot happen without tenderness.
