Issues of Social Justice Concern

Mutual Understanding

In a time of grave polarization we seek to promote understanding with those who differ in opinion from us and to promote ways for each side to respect, listen to understand and communicate with one another.

 

Christian Nationalism

We endeavor to present the lessons history has to teach us about the conflating of religion and governance.

 

Sexual Identity

Our aim is to foster understanding and compassion for the issues facing of the LGBTQ+ Community in the light of basic human dignity and valued contributions to the community at large.

 

Not by appearance shall he judge nor decide by hearsay but he shall decide with Justice. 

Isaiah 11:3-4

​​Care for Creation

We seek to promote understanding of the forces involved in the Climate Change we are all experiencing.  We seek to find faith based ways we can help to alleviate the problems surrounding care for creation.

 

The Lord God took the clay creature filled with the God-breath and placed him in the garden to cultivate it and care for it. Gen. 2.

 

​Immigration & Border

America has been a country that has always welcomed immigrants.  We welcome, protect, promote, and integrate migrants and refugees in conjunction with refugee organizations in our area. There are more migrants and refugees in the world at present than there ever have been at any point in history.

 

We to share the issue of immigration from an enlarged perspective of worldwide processes contributing to immigration, of Christianity and those Christian organizations who work with migrants. There are more migrants and refugees in the world at present than there have ever been at any point in our history.

 

  I was a stranger and you took me in. Mt. 26  "If you are not indigenous, are are an immigrant."

Migrants/Refugees

We seek to learn and involve ourselves in our community to promote understanding the plight of the refugee and migrant as they seek refuge or work in our community. There are more migrants and refugees in the world at present than there ever have been at any point in history.

 

We believe in welcoming, embracing, and standing alongside newly arriving refugees and their families to help them navigate their day to day living and integrate into the Tucson community and this new country, USA.

 

Homeless Youth

 Arizona has more than 62,000 homeless youth making this the 5th worst state in child homelessness. Why is this so?  What can be done?

Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the Hebrew prophets who announced God's special love for the poor and called God's people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ, who came "to bring glad tidings to the poor . . . liberty to captives . . . recovery of sight to the blind"(Lk 4:18-19), and who identified himself with "the least of these," the hungry and the stranger (cf. Mt 25:45). Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the eucharist.”
