Queen of Peace Parish Peace & Justice Purpose Statement

  • Educate ourselves and our parish about the biblical and traditional basis for Catholic Social Teaching and its application in modem life and the life of the parish itself.
  • Promote those attitudes when offering charitable service that reflect our communion with the whole human family in the Love of Christ. This will be accomplished by addressing root causes of need through public forums and other appropriate activities. Works of charity should be offered as “loving our neighbor as ourselves”.
  • Work within and beyond our own community for a more just and peaceful world and for the healing of God’s creation; by both supporting existing parish ministries and disseminating information and tools so that parishioners can better protect our earth.
