Marie Kenyon has hit the ground running in her new role as director of the archdiocesan Peace and Justice Commission.
She officially started her duties on Feb. 16, but unofficially began working in the role and gathering information not long after Archbishop Robert J. Carlson named her to the position Jan. 6.
While also clearing up her case load from the Catholic Legal Assistance Ministry, she's devoted numerous nights and weekends to attending events dealing with the systemic racism to which Archbishop Carlson referred in establishing the commission in August.
