Our Mission & Purpose
Saint Joseph's Justice and Peace Group
One of the first groups formed after the establishment of the Justice and Peace Commission. We campaign through letter writing, lobbying, and host open evening talks on "Integrating Life and Faith."
We are the Saint Joseph's Justice and Peace parish group. Our aim is to work within the Justice and Peace structure to formulate a response to justice issues locally and globally. We aim to do this by encouraging parishioners to take action through prayer, letter writing and/or appropriate non-violent actions.
Within this framework we have recently formed the parish Care of Creation deanery group and are at present recipients of the bronze eco-congregation award. We have formed a deanery group with Saint Bridget's and Saint Cadoc's and welcome parishioners from their parish to our meetings. Our aim is to encourage all to lead more environmentally friendly lives in a spiritual and practical way.
All are welcome.

Care of Creation & Environmental Justice
The newly formed parish deanery group, with Saint Cadoc's and Saint Bridget's hopes to heighten awareness of environmental issues and respond by leading more environmentally friendly lives. We use references from the Holy Father encyclical "Laudato Si" and "Laudato Deum". Working within the eco-congregation framework we are hoping to work our way to a silver award in the future.
