The advocacy subministry is a link between advocacy organizations associated with the parish, the social justice committee and parishioners. Its goal is to advance social justice by helping to form, inform and mobilize a network of parishioners to advocate for appropriate changes in public policies by engaging with public officials (local, state or federal) responsible for policy decisions.
