JPIC
(Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation)
Those who have seen previous bulletin articles know that JPIC stands for Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation. Click on this link for a complete description https://usfranciscans.org/home/justice-and-peace/
You may also know that our St. Benedict’s Parish Council approved JPIC as a new part of the structure of the council. One of the subcommittees of JPIC is Creation Care Team which has been operating here at St. Benedict’s for nearly five years. Past efforts of the Creation Care Team have been: 1) a campaign asking restaurants to reduce their use of plastic straws, 2) supporting our St. Ben’s community garden, 3) distributing reusable shopping bags, 4) bulletin articles designed to educate parishioners on caring for the environment.
JPIC now gives our Creation Care Team renewed energy and a new reporting structure. And, we hope YOU will join us in our efforts to raise awareness, advocate and care for the beautiful earth that God has given us. We need new Creation Care Team members with new ideas!
