SOCIAL JUSTICE AT ST. MARGARET MARY
- domestic abuse
- unjust discrimination against persons or categories of persons, i.e. Racism
- the repression of civil or religious freedoms
- the obstruction of other basic human rights including, but not limited to:
- just wages and fair treatment in employment
- access to food, to affordable housing, to education
- access to good and affordable health care
The obstruction or repression of basic human needs, rights and freedoms is an affront to God. As the Body of Christ, it is our responsibility and privilege to work and to risk toward a just world.
A Social Justice Committee is established at St. Margaret Mary to educate and encourage the entire parish community to participate in God’s work toward a just and loving world. The Committee meets monthly from September through June. If you are interested to join us, please contact the Parish Center at 763/588-9466. We welcome you!
