Office of Life, Peace & Justice

The Office of Life, Peace and Justice’s primary mission is centered on Catholic Social Teaching’s recognition of human dignity of life for all persons from conception to natural death, welcoming immigrants, and caring for prisoners.

Our goal is to spread the Gospel through education, advocacy and pastoral support for the marginalized while assisting parishes and apostolates to develop social ministry programs.

How can we serve you?

Prayer for Life

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies
 not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. Amen.
