The Advocate's Toolbox will show you how to promote justice and the common good. It'll teach you how to leverage your influence as a constituent.
We believe that policies and decisions should be informed by the experiences of the people most impacted by those policies and decisions. We advocate for peace and justice, and are guided by the Gospels, Catholic Social Teaching, and the experience of Columban missionaries and the communities they serve.
Our spiritual traditions are deeply enriched by the spirituality of indigenous peoples rooted in the gift of Creation. As Christians, we know that the joy of Easter is the victory of Christ over death, and that life, not death, will have the last word.

Today more than ever we are called to promote a deep care for creation, just social and economic structures, active non-violence in the face of oppression, and a Gospel commitment to peace that fosters a sense of inter-connectedness and solidarity with all living beings and all of creation.

In the face of so much upheaval, Lent may seem like one more challenge to add to this year. How can we pray, fast, and practice charity when we already feel the sting of social isolation, painful sacrifice, and financial insecurity?
There is no place for violence and the systemic racism that fuels it in our nation, especially when political leaders and the media perpetuate lies and incite assaults on our democracy and our democratic traditions. Words matter, and character matters, and when words are used to condone, tolerate, encourage, or incite hatred and violence, it must be condemned. Silence in the face of grave injustice and violence is complicity.
