JPIC News and Updates

June 20 is World Refugee Day.

The Society of the Sacred Heart, along with 53 other faith-based organizations, signed a statement in support of refugees.

The Society of the Sacred Heart is an active member of JCoR, the Justice Coalition of Religious. It is a collaborative endeavour of 19 Roman Catholic religious organizations.

To facilitate access to articles, information, and updates from the UN-NGO Office, we created a new section.

In this issue of New Frontiers, we highlight different experiences of "being artisans of hope in our blessed and broken world."

The booklet format of our JPIC Document, "Being Artisans of Hope in Our Blessed and Broken World," will soon be available.

"With deep conviction I wish once more to declare that the use of atomic energy for purposes of war is today, more than ever, a crime not only against the dignity of human beings but against any possible future for our common home." (Pope Francis, Hiroshima, 24 November 2019)

A few words to the Society from Socorro Martinez rscj: "I am in Rome with the group of Amerindia, which is a network of theologians in Latin America. We are outside of the Vatican walls. I will just share a few hopeful signs."

On Sunday October 13th participants in the Synod came together for lunch, prayer and relaxation at the Villa Lante Garden.
