"If you want PEACE
Work for JUSTICE"
-Pope Paul VI
Nurtured by our rich liturgical life, the Social Justice Ministry seeks to put our faith into action by supporting a culture of listening, compassion, and servanthood. In concrete and tangible ways, we are all called to respond, within and beyond our parish community, to Christ’s call to love our neighbor through outreach, education, works of mercy, and social action.
Join us on the 2nd Monday of the month!
All are welcome, no commitment necessary!
7:00 PM at St. Catherine's (upstairs mezzanine)

The social justice ministry strives to provide opportunities for the parish community to participate in the three pillars of social justice ministry:
Formation: Faith formation, scripture, prayer, Catholic social teaching and education on social Issues.
Charitable Works: Work to aid or assist others to meet their immediate needs, e.g. provide food, clothing, shelter, or monetary assistance.
Social Action: Address the root causes that contribute to suffering and injustice and advocate for just public policies to change social structures.
Catholic social teaching is central to this ministry, providing guidance to our actions.
"The Church's social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society" (US Conference of Catholic Bishops).
