The Justice and Peace Commission acts as a think tank and help to shape the overall justice and peace strategy of the archdiocese is sound and effective.
We work within the field of Catholic social action, which includes environmental justice. As a commission, our role is to offer advice and to act as a prophetic voice on these issues. This happens through meetings and consultations, advice, feedback or raising questions at all levels of archdiocesan life.
We also operate a sub-group, the Archdiocesan Environmental Task Group, which helps the archdiocese to address green issues and foster the care of creation.
We welcome any justice and peace related concerns or suggestion that you have. To discuss your ideas or suggestions please contact our chair.
We would also be happy to connect you with our local groups, active in many of our parishes and schools.
During this difficult time, parishes are encouraged to write one Easter card to a parish in the Holy Land and surrounding areas.
Please download the list and let pd@rcaol.org.uk know which parishes in the Holy Land your parish sent cards to. Cards can take at least a month to reach their destination, so please send these as early as possible. As you can see from the quote below, this makes a significant impact, so thank you for taking the time to do this:
