Social Justice & Peace Commission
-
-
The goal of the Social Justice & Peace Commission is to provide avenues for our parishioners, as well as those outside the Parish, to live out their faith and love in the community. Our work demonstrates to those throughout the community how we live out Christ's commandment to love one another. We look to provide opportunities for discipleship and "finding one's charism" through service to others. We live out our gospel mission beyond Church walls.
Through routine collections of everyday necessities, breakfasts for our unhoused brothers and sisters, to learning opportunities for those interested in knowing more about the Church's Social Justice Teachings, the Commission provides opportunities to give back and give of yourselves. -

Catholic Social Teaching
Catholic Social Teaching refers to the collection of teachings that challenge the faithful to live responsibly, work to build a just society, and live a life of holiness amidst the challenges of modern life. These teachings are rooted in Sacred Scripture and have been articulated through papal, conciliar, and episcopal documents. There are several key themes that make up the heart of Catholic Social Teaching. -
