Justice and Peace

We are a friendly group who meet monthly to reflect on both the spiritual basis of our commitment to Justice and Peace and the issues of the day. We plan activities to address these issues - these may be liturgical events, speaker meetings, fund-raising, campaigning, publicity events etc. We work to:
• increase awareness of suffering in our community and in the wider world
• develop understanding of the causes of that suffering
• help build a more just and peaceful world
Recent projects include support for CAFOD campaigns, support for the homeless and asylum seekers, awareness-raising climate change issues.
