“By this, all people will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

The Social Justice Department in the archdiocese works to engage in action-oriented activities that promote and enliven the social teaching of the Church in our communities. The three main themes are Justice, Peace, and Human Rights. Everything that the department does is tied to the Catholic Social Teachings of the Catholic Church.
