2023-2024 Peace and Justice Focus
After a several year hiatus, the Peace and Justice Committee was reignited in the Fall of 2020. Each year, the work of the Committee will be based on one or more Catholic Social Teachings.
This year, 2023 - 2024, the focus will be on this Catholic Social Teaching:
Call to Family, Community and Participation
The person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society -- in economics and politics, in law and policy -- directly affects human dignity and the capacity of
individuals to grow in the community. Marriage and the family are the central social institutions that must be supported and strengthened, not undermined. We believe people have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking together the common good and well-being of all, especially the poor and vulnerable.
