Social Justice Committee:

1. Educates parishioners to care for the needs of the universal Church and the world.
2. Studies papal encyclicals and bishops statements on peace and justice.
3. Coordinates Service Programs, Mission Projects, food and clothing drives.
4. Informs people of resources available: Catholic Charities and the Rural Life Conference.
5. Supports the dignity and rights of each person from conception to natural death.
6. Promotes social justice through direct service and advocacy.

 

This committee also identifies those in need in our parish, and recommends recipients for the loose coin collection and parish tithing programs.

We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month, 7:15 PM in Fogarty Hall to pray, discuss and plan outreach for those in need. Everyone is welcome!
