Father S\u00e9amus Finn has played a prominent role here, as the following attests:<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ICCR (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iccr.org\/about-iccr\/\">https:\/\/www.iccr.org\/about-iccr\/<\/a>) is a U.S.-based coalition of institutional investors committed to engaging corporations on issues of environmental sustainability, social justice, governance, and human rights. Fr. FINN has been a long-standing and influential member of this coalition, offering visionary leadership, thoughtful guidance, and a moral voice that has helped shape the movement for responsible investment grounded in faith values.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through his tireless commitment, Fr. FINN has ensured that Catholic institutions, alongside other faith communities, have a meaningful role in addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of our time\u2014climate change, economic justice, corporate accountability, and the defense of human dignity.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tribute offered by the ICCR was not only a recognition of Fr. FINN\u2019s personal achievements, but also a celebration of the values he has consistently championed: integrity, justice, sustainability, and a preferential option for the poor and most vulnerable. His work stands as a powerful example of how faith can inform and transform the world of finance for the common good.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omiworld.org\/2025\/10\/25\/fr-seamus-finn-omi-honoured-by-iccr-for-leadership-in-faith-consistent-investing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.omiworld.org\/2025\/10\/25\/fr-seamus-finn-omi-honoured-by-iccr-for-leadership-in-faith-consistent-investing\/<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Responding to the call of the Spirit, some Oblates identify themselves with the poor, sharing their life and commitment to justice; others are present where decisions affecting the future of the poor are being made.
