Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation

In the face of the urgency of need in our world, this focus of passion, hope and energy impels us to act on our desire to become better informed and educated about the interrelationships among the local, regional, national and international levels so that we may work more effectively toward structural and systemic change. Our steadfast commitment to our world in need of justice, peace and the integrity of creation, beckons us towards transformative engagement and action, especially in situations of particular vulnerability.

Drawing from our charism and mission as educators,
we have identified four JPIC imperatives:

Washing One Another’s Feet

In our pursuit of JPIC, we inevitably come face-to-face with the significant role that POWER plays in our life and mission – as individuals and communities, in the relationships and structures that underpin our societies and nations, as well as in our vision of the world and hope for the future.
Transforming and Being Transformed

JPIC is also a work of structural transformation that involves the Spirit: communal, social, political, economic, ecological, planetary, and cosmic transformation. One integrated movement weaves together the contemplative and active aspects of our Sacred Heart charism.
Care for Our Common Home

The call to care for our common home, which is replete with diverse beauty, holds unprecedented urgency. Driven by an ethic of caring about the future of our planet we along with so many others responding to this call seek creative and effective ways to heed this urgency.
Welcoming People on the Move

In a painful mix of hope and desperation, countless people risk their lives to escape war, persecution, poverty and natural disasters. Our commitment to JPIC compels us to re-examine how we stand in solidarity with those who are at these “frontiers.”

Our world is at an historic paradoxical moment. It holds new possibilities while it is also wrought with inequality, suffering, and violence. As such, we are citizens of a world that is both broken and blessed. We feel profoundly the cry of the poor and the pain of the earth. We desire to participate in the care of “our common home” – working against injustices, constructing peaceful interrelationships, and protecting the earth.
