Life, Peace & Justice
Life, Justice & Peace Committee
Our faith impels us to defend the gift of life from conception till natural death, through all its different transitions. That is why this committee works to create a greater appreciation for the life of the unborn, the orphans, the unemployed, the poor, the elderly, the immigrant, etc. We do outreach ministry in all its stages.
