Sacred Heart’s Social Justice Committee, a branch of the greater Franciscan devotion to JPIC, or Justice, Peace, and the Integrity for Creation, works alongside the friars to educate themselves and the parish on the who, what, when, where and why of social justice issues and how the faithful can respond by examining Catholic social teaching, Pope Francis’ encyclical Fratelli Tutti, and the Gospel.
