The Tasmanian Catholic Justice and Peace Commission consists of eleven Commissioners appointed by the Archbishop.
The Tasmanian Catholic Justice and Peace Commission aims to bring about change by actively challenging injustice and promoting peace.
The Commission aims:
to promote an understanding and awareness within the community of Catholic Social Teaching, particularly in the areas of justice, peace and ecology, and to assist the people of the Archdiocese to better integrate this understanding within an evolving Christian lifestyle.
To support and develop critical thinking and social action skills in parishioners.
To work in a collaborative way with Church and outside organisations in research, social analysis, social action and prayer to promote social justice in Tasmania.
To advise the Archbishop and the wider Catholic community in Tasmania about social justice issues.
To engage in research and analysis of current social justice issues, including policy preparation.
The Commission is made up of a network, consisting of a Justice Contact - commissioned by the Archbishop to play a special role in working for justice and peace - the Local Justice Networks - grass roots collections of concerned Catholics wanting to actively work for social justice within their communities - and the Just Net - a monthly newsletter filled with useful info about upcoming justice-related events, news and information about current issues.
