Justice & Peace

We must love our neighbor as being made in the image of God and as an object of His love. - Saint Vincent de Paul

This ministry assists parishes and schools in reflecting and acting upon the social dimension of the Gospel by providing information and education on current events grounded in the principles of Catholic social teaching. The program also offers ongoing support to parishes with social and outreach committees and assists in the development of new committees where none exist.

Staff provides educational resources and consultations.
