As an integral part of Franciscan life, the JPIC Office and Directorate exist to assist HNP in meeting the challenges of our call to minister in solidarity with the alienated, the poor, and the immigrant, as well as to care for God's creation.

Justice and Peace ...an integral dimension of Franciscan life

The pursuit of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) is one of the chief priorities of the Holy Name Province and flows naturally from the life of St. Francis and the Franciscan movement that he inspired in pursuit of the Gospel Life.

JPIC Now


	Immigration Reform Campaign for HNP Ministries The “gang of 8” Senators' immigration reform bill is now being discussed in the Senate. S. 744 (The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act) is an encouraging start to the conversation. HNP ministries need to continue their efforts in support of strong Comprehensive Immigration Reform, especially between now and the end of May 2013. To this end, the JPIC Office is offering a series of articles suitable for posting in bulletins or newsletters, on websites or via social media.
