Sowers of Justice
The Sowers of Justice Committee supports the Archdiocesan Office for Social Justice on the parish level. It educates about Church social teaching, provides opportunities for legislative advocacy and other action, forms task forces addressing problems such as homelessness and communicates with other parishes and the wider community. Working for justice means looking for root causes. It means attempting to resolve social problems through communal action to change minds and hearts, policies, systems and institutions. The committee welcomes new members. It usually meets on the second Thursday of the month.
