Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation
 |
Welcome to the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation web page for the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg. On this page we will explore various Social Justice issues. The Catholic Social Justice Principles emphasize the dignity of all beings. In our pursuit for justice this commitment of dignity is always before us and will be expressed in the social justice issues presented here. We are constantly aware of Jesus' message to us: Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to me. |

Indiana Catholic Poverty Summit |
|
Friday, April 26, the day of the Indiana Poverty Summit dawned and close to 100 participants made their way to Notre Dame University in South Bend, IN. The forum was titlesd "Bring Glad Tidings." The summit was by invitation only and since I was pm the commitee to plan this, I was automatically invited, and S. Jean Marie Cleveland represented Marian University. The summit was sponsored by Catholic Charities of Indiana but was the vision of David Siler, director of Catholic Charities in Indianapolis. As part of David Siler's introductory remarks, he said: "I am very proud of the work that we do, but after 10 years, what now motivates me most is to putting myself out os a job, closing a shelter...! We will continue to serve the hungry at our door, the broken, the homeless, the forgotten - however, I want us to see fewer and fewer." |
