Office of Peace and Justice - Social Justice Advocacy
MISSION:
The Office for Peace and Justice promotes advocacy efforts to assist the poor and vulnerable in the Chicago area, The U.S., and the world. One of the goals of civic responsibility is to raise awareness and to stimulate commitment among Catholic, both lay and clergy, to become engaged in faithful citizenship. Through education and advocacy, parishioners are encouraged to take informed action to influence public policy in line with the Catholic Conference of Illinois, and the U.S. Catholic Conference. Many of the issues have a distinct global dimension, such as hunger, human rights, and the debt of developing nations.
