The Social Justice Committee usually meets every third Sunday after the 11:00 am Mass in the Rainbow Room Annex. Membership to the Social Justice Committee is open to all parishioners.
Purpose
The Social Justice Committee serves as a resource to enable the entire faith community to put the social teaching of the Catholic Church into action. The Committee empowers the parishioners to spread the Light of Christ's peace, justice and love by responding as one to societal needs beyond our parish boundaries to the larger Detroit community, nationally and globally.
