Social Action Ministry
In his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo describes the “inseparable link between proclaiming the Gospel and pursuing a more just social order.” Indeed, our faith calls us to work for peace and justice in our homes, our community, and our world. In that spirit, the Social Action ministry’s goal is to animate Catholic Social Teaching among St. Ignatius parishioners through non-violent public witness, service, and community engagement.
We hold monthly meetings every first Sunday between the morning masses, where we organize regular opportunities for service and advocacy such as donation drives and community workshops.
​
​We also meet on first Fridays and second Sundays for Peace Corner, where we hold signs with messages of peace and solidarity on the corner of Powell and 43rd Avenue. Signs are available for participants, or you may bring your own. Please ensure that all signs emphasize nonviolence, unity, and solidarity and are not oppositional, angry, or refer to specific political figures or parties.
