Just Act - Social Justice Resources

What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children who are now growing up?

Pope Francis, Laudato Si 106
Today, October 4, we conclude the Season of Creation and honor the feast day of St. Francis by encouraging all people of good will to follow St. Francis’s example and live in harmony with all of creation by working for justice and relating to others with compassion.
As many of us enjoy a reprieve from our daily toil on Sept. 3 and prepare to welcome students back to school, join us as we work and pray to help the more than 150 million children – one in ten, globally – who are engaged in some form of child labor.
I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of [humankind], to whatever nation they might belong.” – George Washington

The Gospel Fund

The Gospel Fund of the Atlantic-Midwest Province has been established for the purpose of assisting in the financing of projects whose goals are consistent with our congregational mandate to reverence all creation and make the concerns of the poor our own. Twice a year the School Sisters of Notre Dame award grants to organizations working for justice. These groups benefit people, mostly women and children, caught in poverty, human rights abuses, or environmental devastation.

For justice to which we are all called,
and for charity which is a privilege for all of us to offer,
we join our prayers and financial resources
with these organizations and groupsas they work for a more just global community.
