Action on behalf of justice, peace and the integrity of creation is an integral part of evangelization\u2026<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Whatever their work, Oblates will collaborate, according to their vocation and by every means compatible with the Gospel, in changing all that is a cause of oppression and poverty. They thereby help to create a society based on the dignity of the human person created in the image of God.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CC&RR, Rule 9a<\/em><\/p>\n

In the United States Province, Antonio Ponce\u2019s Oblate ministry is to head a team of JPIC members to assist the Mazenodian Family to live this aspect of our Rule of Life.<\/p>\n

The Office of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation coordinates the advocacy efforts in the United States of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate on behalf of the interests of the poor and abandoned in the U.S. and 65 countries where the Oblates are in mission.<\/em><\/p>\n

Based in Washington, DC, the staff:<\/em><\/p>\n

Serves as a resource for members of the Oblate congregation;<\/em><\/p>\n

Supports the community organizing efforts of Oblates in the US;<\/em><\/p>\n

Coordinates the Faith Responsible Investing Program to advance just practices and policies by corporations in their worldwide operations;<\/em><\/p>\n

Collaborates with other NGOs to promote peace, justice, an ethic of consistent life, and the integrity of creation through our educational outreach. We also share concerns about the impact of policies on the poor with the US government, and international institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the United Nations.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition, you can find and download a lot of useful resource material for the JPIC website: http:\/\/omiusajpic.org\/resources\/<\/a> This includes parish resources, JPIC publications, links to website resources, Religious Statements from the Vatican and the OMI, the OMI\u2019s positions on issues relevant to our work, and audio and video material.<\/p>\n

I have written about the situation in the Oblate province to which I belong, but every Oblate unit throughout the world has its own JPIC structures.<\/p>\n
