About JPIC

From our contemplation of the Pierced Heart of Jesus in the heart of wounded humanity flows the desire to commit ourselves with greater passion and compassion to justice, peace and the integrity of creation. Journeying with people of different religions, races and cultures, and listening profoundly to the joys and suffering of humanity, have allowed us to be touched by the poverty, inequality, exclusion, violence and environmental destruction that are present in today’s world. We take the responsibility to orient all our educative endeavors toward creating relationships of equality, inclusion, non-violence and harmony, believing that to have life and life in abundance is the deepest desire of God.

In whatever apostolic activity we are engaged, our educative mission makes visible our solidarity with those who are excluded. The pursuit of justice, peace and integrity of creation permeates all aspects of our lives. We include these in the criteria we use for discerning our relationships, ministries and commitments. In so doing, all our choices are marked by Gospel values.
