Serving the Common Good

Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC)

We live out the Gospel through a commitment to justice, peace, and care for creation, responding to the needs of the most vulnerable in our world. Guided by faith and collaboration, our efforts focus on human dignity, advocacy, and protecting the Earth.

Call from World Synod of Bishops

Justice in the World, 1971

"Action on behalf of justice and participation in the transformation of the world fully appear to us as a constitutive dimension of preaching the Gospel, or, in other words, of the Church's mission for the redemption of the human race and its liberation from every oppressive situation."

Calls from the 23rd SSM

General Assembly, 2022

We are called to renew ourselves through living Gospel values and Our Way of Life in order to respond to today’s needs.

Collaboration inside and outside the Congregation is essential for community life and for mission.

From Pope Leo XIV

There can be no peace without Justice and the poor remind of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress that does not take everyone into account, and indeed forgets many individuals, leaving them to their fate.
