Peace and Social Justice
Serving and Reaching Out to the Community
Staff Liaison

lmartinez@eseton.org
The Office of Peace and Social Justice is committed to protecting the dignity of parishioners and our neighbors in the greater community by educating, aiding, supporting, and advocating for anyone who is experiencing difficulties within our social structures. The peace and social justice ministries respond to the Gospel call to consider our neighbor, without exception, ‘another self’. Seton lay-ministers understand that we are the church in our community. This work ultimately takes the Gospel from the pulpit, to the pews and into action in our community.
Thank you for your financial support, your time, energy & commitment. Keep up the great work!
