Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center

The Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center, grounded in Catholic Social Teaching, builds community to act for systemic change in our church and world. IPJC is sponsored by 24 religious communities and collaborates with Catholic, ecumenical, interfaith and other organizations in carrying out this mission.

 

Where the world sees threats, she (the Church) sees children; where walls are built, she builds bridges. She knows that her proclamation of the Gospel is credible only when it is translated into gestures of closeness and welcome. And she knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door of the community.

~Pope Leo, Dilexi Te, Paragraph 75
