Family Life & Social Concern

 

 

The Peace and Justice Commission (PJC) oversees and promotes all the efforts of our parish to keep before us the Gospel mandate to:
♦Care for the poor and neglected
♦Protect the integrity of the family
♦Safeguard human life from conception until natural death
♦Pursue justice and the promotion of peace
♦Care of the wise use of the goods of creation

The Peace and Justice Planning Commission identifies violations of human dignity and social justice locally and worldwide. It plans efforts to educate members of our Catholic Community family on Catholic social teaching and elicits parish involvement in the defense of those most vulnerable. The PJC consists of the heads of groups which come under its direction and other team members appointed by the chair.

Groups under the Peace and Justice Commission:

St. Vincent de Paul

The St. Vincent de Paul Society provides financial, material, educational and spiritual support to those in need regardless of background or faith and collaborates with other organizations to empower people to achieve self-sufficiency.  Contact:  through the parish office.

 

 

Pro-Life Committee

The Pro-Life Committee keeps in front of our Catholic Community family, the call to transform society into a Culture of Life. The Pro-Life Committee implements the objectives of the Bishops' Pastoral Plan at their parish and serves as liaison between parishes, archdiocesan and national efforts to help facilitate care to pregnant women who are at risk.
