Peace & Nonviolence

Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) concerns have always been part of the Franciscan Sisters spirit. This commitment to justice, peace, and care of creation has been demonstrated through our ministries, decisions, and actions that impact systemic sources of injustice.

Inspired by our foundress, Mother Clara Pfaender, our JPIC efforts explore the most critical justice issues of our time, especially those that affect the interconnectedness of social and environmental challenges, and work to promote awareness, encourage reflection, and initiate appropriate responses and calls to action.
