 The members of this committee work to heighten awareness
of social action issues within and encourage action on the part of our
parishioners to do all that we can to promote peace and justice within our
community and throughout the world.
The purpose of this committee is to update the parish community with current moral, social, ethical and political issues.
We plan and organize two parish pot lucks per year. The first is the Sunday after the 11 am Mass in October, celebrating our diverse parish and collecting money for our sister parish in Haiti. The second is in January. It is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The month of January is also called The Peace Month. |
 We are involved in the Evanston Parish Community. We facilitate and attend quad parish meetings every quarter. These meetings are an opportunity for gathering ideas and information for joint action. For example, we met to gather signatures to a petition against the moral issue of torture. We have also established a perminant reminder of peace with the peace pole in the parish center. In the future, we hope to have lectures, movies and group meetings regarding ways we can increase awareness of the social injustice.
We publish weekly articles in the Sunday Bulletins and we meet the First Sundays of every month after the 9:30 am Mass. New members are always welcome.
