The St. James Peace and Justice Committee, rooted in the Gospels and inspired by the Holy Spirit, is a guiding voice for peace and justice by: educating the faithful on the Catholic social teachings; supporting and complementing parish ministries; and empowering people to transform lives and society, both locally and globally.
