The principles of participation is a corollary to this natural human impulse to form community...Poverty denies full participation in the life of the community and impedes the ability to influence decisions impacting one's life.

Peace & Justice held its first meeting in the new Parish Center on May 1st. We need your help. Come and join with members working to bring a faith perspective to such important issues as the Rockefeller Drug Laws, the integration of immigrants into our community, the death penalty, the sweatshops and how it manifests locally, the idea of a fall "crop walk" to educate about hunger, the ongoing effort to close the School of the Americas, the issue of militarism and military spending and finally the idea of presenting monthly movies with a social justice perspective. Call 751-2097 for a contact person and for info on the next meeting.
