The mission of the Office of Advocacy and Justice is to create disciples in action by providing parishioners with opportunities to live out their baptismal call to model Christ's love for the poor and the most vulnerable members of our communities. The Office Advocacy & Justice serves as the social justice arm of the local church. Our Catholic view of social justice is derived from Catholic Social Teaching. It encompasses the social issues of life and the dignity of the human person, community and the common good, rights and responsibilities, options for the poor, the dignity of work, solidarity, and care for God's creation.

4. Preferential Option for the Poor 
5. The Dignity of Work

7. Care for God's Creation
