NORTH AMERICAN DOMINICAN JUSTICE PROMOTERS’ GOSPEL CALL TO JUSTICE
The ministry of the North American Dominican Promoters of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation is to encourage all members of the Dominican Family to embrace a deepening of the Dominican charism to search for and preach TRUTH as it impacts the lives of people and care for our common home, Earth. Learn more at https://www.laudatosi.va/en.html. In this effort, we join with Dominicans worldwide to promote the Gospel Call to Justice and help guide study and advocacy for human rights and climate justice in our world today. We call The Dominican Family to lift our voice toward “an ever wider ‘we’ [that] will help renew the human family, build a future of justice and peace, and ensure that no one is left behind.” (Pope Francis, World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2021.) These efforts are augmented by our Dominican presence in the United Nations in New York, Geneva, Nairobi, and Vienna. Click or tap here to read more.
