The Boca Raton Interfaith Clergy Association (BRICA) is a group of clergy from different religious traditions in the Boca Raton region who gather for conversation, mutual support and with a shared commitment to serve our community.
The group meets monthly for dialogue, to engage in conversation with other community leaders who serve our community and to explore ways to give witness to the values of justice, mercy, compassion and the dignity of every human being that unite us as Children of God.
