Moved to Action:
 Peace and Social Justice Advocacy Ministry
 

 

Our mission, Moved to Action Ministry, is to disseminate the message of the Gospel & Social Teachings of the Catholic Church so that Ministry members and parishioners can apply these teachings to their daily lives.  Our ministry is rooted in prayer & guided by Catholic Social teaching.  We do this by:

•      Providing an avenue for a prayerful, educational and spiritual experience that helps us "move to action" on Peace and Social Justice issues. 

•      Studying the Social Teachings of the church and offering members/parishioners simple actions to implement these teachings in their daily lives.

•      Informing members/parishioners of opportunities to help others & engaging them to do advocacy in line with the social teachings of the church.

•      Putting the programs of the USCCB, the Diocese and organizations sanctioned by the diocese into action.  Our areas of service encompass advocacy, outreach, solidarity, justice & peace, organizing, education and prayer.

•      Promoting a just society by raising awareness of issues that are unjust and by advocating for fair & just solutions.

•      Developing an understanding that our parish is of the world & engaging the parish in opportunities for solidarity.
