Justice & Peace

The Justice & Peace Ministry of Saint Ignatius Catholic Community is dedicated to the service of faith and the promotion of justice. 

As a parish, we are called and challenged to articulate, advocate, and act upon critical social, economic, cultural and political issues that affect us, our city, and our world. 

We are called to be a resource to provide parishioners with opportunities to live out their faith through justice.

Who We Serve

As a ministry, we encourage parishioners to reflect on their experiences and to discern God’s presence in their lives. We seek to nurture leadership and personal faith by engaging with, partnering with, advocating on behalf of, and being converted by the diverse urban community of Baltimore.

Our priorities are advocacy, education, and social responsibility. 

Our work is carried out by committees, direct service ministries, and community partnerships.

The Justice & Peace Ministry is organized by committees. These dynamic clusters, composed of passionate and engaged volunteers, focus on systemic injustices and their impact on human lives and advocate for societal changes that improve the lives of those who face systemic oppression.

We nurture lay leadership as well as personal faith through solidarity with oppressed groups and dedication to the greater good. Meetings take place monthly and are convened by Committee Chairs for one hour. A combined meeting including all committees follows. There is a dynamic quality to this process which allows for open communication, bonding, and supporting one another.
