Peace and Justice
Our ministry to devoted to informing parishioners of applications of the Church’s teachings on Peace, Justice and Ecology in relation to current conditions. We offer presentations, field trips, and opportunities for fellow parishioners’ hands-on service-learning experiences where we learn from and share with those less fortunate.
We believe diversity reflects God’s own inexhaustibly rich nature. Thus, we seek to foster openness and interest in peoples, experiences, and ideas that are new, different, and varied.
Our ministry helps foster a culture of life, the dignity of each person and a just society. Together, we:- Promote the family and community to strengthen the common good.
- Build appreciation for both personal and social responsibilities.
- Nurture a commitment to caring for the poor and the vulnerable.
- Embrace our stewardship of creation.
