Rooted in our Catholic faith and its social teachings, the Peace and Justice Commission seeks, through education, advocacy and sevice, to empower the people of the parish to participate actively on behalf of peace and justice.
The commission studies and responds to needs of the parish and our community in an effort to both alleviate the effects of injustice and remove its basic causes. The commission meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 PM in the Paulist Center. Anyone wishing to participate may call the parish office at 231-4955 or e-mail.
