The
Social Justice/Respect Life Office is responsible to plan, organize
and implement activities that promote peace and justice and
address the issues of poverty, housing, agricultural issues,
healthcare, immigration, communication between cultures and
issues of Hispanic and Native peoples. This office also works
to promote the respect and protection of human life at all its
stages from conception to natural death. The office coordinates
the Catholic Advocacy Network (CAN) under the
guidance of the Washington State Catholic Conference
(WSCC).
It also networks with
various organizations that address the many peace and justice issues
in our diocese. In addition, this office is a liaison for the bishop
to the Washington Association of Churches, Natural
Family Planning and Project Rachel ministries
and committees. Educational presentations, materials, and referrals
are provided for parishes upon request.
