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 in October, celebrating our Haitian Community (see pictures of the Haitian Celebration in October 2007) 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. See pictures of the Martin Luther King Celebration in January 2007.

 

The month of January is also Peace Month.

We try to raise awareness of what does Peace mean is our lives today by handing out Peace doves and reading our Peace prayer. We also are involved in the Evanston Parish Community. We facilitate and attend quad parish meeting every quarter. These meeting are an opportunity for gathering ideas and information for joint action. We just completed gathering signatures to a petition against the moral issue of torture.

We publish weekly articles in the Sunday Bulletins and we meet the First Sundays of every month after the 9:30 Mass. New members are always welcome.

For more information, please contact Teresa Forman, Chairman of St. Mary's Peace and Justice Commitee at (847) 869-0891, (847) 266-7043 or thomasforman1@comcast.net
