In the spirit of our Foundress, Blessed Pauline von Mallinckrodt, we serve as instruments of justice and peace, working on behalf of all God’s people who are victims of injustice and violence today. The work of justice and peace is integral to who we are as SCCs and inherent in our charism and mission.  We stand with and advocate for those who are voiceless in our society—the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, the vulnerable and our suffering earth —to help restore human dignity and the rights of all of Creation. We are committed to listening to and acting on the “cry of the poor and the cry of the earth” through prayer, education and advocacy.
The SCC Office of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation publishes a monthly Update to provide information on current social justice issues as well as suggested actions that relate to these issues. Use the link in the side bar to access Updates. 

Happy September! The Season of Creation began September 1 with the World Day of Prayer for Creation and ends October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of ecology. It is a special time set aside by the Church in communion with other faiths around the world to pray and act for our common home.
Pope Francis’ inspiring message is included in this month's update along with a summary of the four key points of his message.  In his message, Pope Francis defines the Season of Creation as “an opportunity to cultivate our ‘ecological conversion’”, recalling the message encouraged by St. John Paul II.
