Justice & Human Concerns

Justice & Human Concerns Committee works to bring Catholic Social Teaching alive in our parish. Recent Popes have captivated the attention and imaginations of many of us with their strong words and actions connecting following Christ and how we conduct ourselves in the world. Pope Leo and Pope Francis draw from the long tradition of Catholic social teaching to prod us to live and think differently. Leading us by their example and teaching, they urge Catholics worldwide to better imitate Jesus in our daily lives. 

The goals of the Justice and Human Concerns committee are to help promote Catholic Social Teaching and support parish members in living them out. Our focus is twofold, to bring awareness and knowledge of our traditions rich social teaching to our community and to provide opportunities for people to experience their faith through service and justice work.

If you would like to join us in this work we would love to have you. For more information on the committee, contact Mike Westenberg at mikew@stmattsgb.org
