The Church of St. Francis Xavier joins with people of faith and no faith, throughout the world, in committing itself to racial justice. And so we pledge together:
 
I SUPPORT justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.

I AFFIRM that white privilege is unfair and harmful to those who have it and to those who do not.

I AFFIRM that white privilege and the culture of white supremacy in which our nation and our church were founded and developed must be dismantled.

I SUPPORT racial equity, justice, and liberation for every person.

I AFFIRM the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
 
Therefore, from this day forward . . .
 
I WILL strive daily to understand white privilege and white supremacy and how their existence benefits me.
I COMMIT to help transform our church culture to one that is actively engaged in seeking racial justice and equity for everyone.

I WILL make a greater effort to treat all people with the same respect I expect to receive.

I COMMIT to developing the courage to live my beliefs and values of racial justice and equality.

I WILL strive daily to eliminate racial prejudice from my thoughts and actions so that I can better promote the racial justice efforts of our church.

I WILL renew and honor this pledge daily, knowing that our church, our community, our nation, and our world will be better places because of my efforts.
