Are you interested in exploring current Social Justice issues and how they relate to our faith? St Pat's Social Justice Committee focuses on a wide variety of social concerns, shares information and makes plans for how we can become involved in a pro-active
way. There are many opportunities for advocacy, fundraising, political action, caring for the poor and oppressed, exploring liberation theology, and more.
Ongoing activities include the following: monthly letter writing in person after Mass, and online since, and actions about many justice topics, including: nuclear weapons abolition/peace, homelessness, immigration, economic, racial/Black Lives Matter, criminal justice reform, environmental, Salvadoran and farmworker solidarity, School of Americas Watch, and others.
Several families have hosted Central American refugees in their homes, and the parish continues to provide support and assistance by contributing to the parish legal aid fund.
The ministry has also led many online Wednesday movie nights, and our Care For Creation Committee has grown out of this committee and is led by Kathy Wilmering. This ministry coordinates parishioner involvement in Catholic Advocacy Day each year, and continues networking with St. James, St. Joseph and Immaculate Conception regarding immigration, racial justice and care for creation issues.
