Catholic Commission for Social Justice

The CCSJ is currently coordinating activities for our Archdiocese’s upcoming observance of Justice, Peace, and Community Week (JPCW), Saturday, November 13 – Saturday 20.
The 5th World Day of the Poor will fall during this week on Sunday, November 14. The theme chosen by Pope Francis is: The Poor you will always have with you (Mk 14:7). This is also the theme chosen for our Archdiocese’s observance of JPCW.

“None of us can think we are exempt from concern for the poor and for social justice” – Pope Francis, Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (EG), The Joy of the Gospel [201].
Our Catholic faith is a ‘contract’ of our responsibilities and unconditional duties to society. At our baptism, we ‘sign’ this non-negotiable contract.

Very often, we hear conversations about poverty where there is always some debate about what poverty is and what it is not. Some persons even argue that the concept of poverty is not real given the abundance of natural resources that exists in the world today. The latter argument typically revolves around the wasting of food, the move away from agriculture or the destruction of the planet.
