With Homeboy Industries as a backdrop, this talk will explore the power of love to transform the disunity that currently keeps us from each other.  Loving is our home and knowing that, is never to be homesick again.  At a time when society is more fractured than ever before, beloved Jesuit priest, Greg Boyle invites us to see the world through a new lens of connection and to build the loving community that we long to live in.
