Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC)
We stand in solidarity with those made poor in an increasingly divided world. We witness the devaluation of human life, the destruction of our planet, and the growing intolerance toward those who are marginalized, impoverished or abandoned.
Inspired by St. Julie’s prophetic witness, we are called to be women of justice and peace amid the inequality and violence of our time.
As part of a global community, we seek to transform unjust structures and systems, foster new ways of connection that allow all creation to experience God’s courageous and prophetic goodness, and respond to the signs and needs of the times.
In the Spirit of St. Julie, we address urgent issues, including:
- Advocating for Migrants and Refugees
- Promoting Justice Based Advocacy
- Caring for the Community of Creation
Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation - Our Work
Advocating for Migrants and Refugees
In the Spirit of St. Julie, we work to advocate, educate and empower migrant children and adults across the country.
Promoting Justice Based Advocacy
Following in the spirit of St. Julie Billiart, we advocate for justice and peace in an increasingly divided world. Our Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) ministry leads legislative visits, advocacy campaigns and service and prayer activities to ensure that all voices are heard.
In Honor of Black Catholic History Month
In honor of Black Catholic History Month in November, we share this article from Global Sisters Report about the life and impact of Sister Teresita Weind, SNDdeN. Sister Teresita dedicated her life to God, and around the world, she was a tireless advocate for his goodness. The first African-American woman to lead a global congregation, she led with humility and grace, endearing herself to all.
“Now is the moment, day, era to be the place
where God dwells in mystery,
in order to make goodness known in the world.”
—Sister Teresita Weind, SNDdeN
