The Just Faith/Just Matters Group of Young Adult Catholics meets monthly to plan events, such as films and educational series that concern issues of peace and social justice. See the Franciscan Adult School for event offerings.
This program focuses on contemporary issues of justice, peace and the environment from a faith-based perspective. Through education and organization we will advocate for greater justice in ourselves, our society and our world. Participants will have the opportunity to work directly with the poor and the marginalized in their struggles for “Justice.” Whenever feasible, we will join our efforts with other business, social and faith-based groups in support of the poor, the marginalized and the “working poor.
Educational Modules will be offered by the Franciscan Adult School.
