Are you concerned about Inequality? Injustice? Poverty?
Together we can make a difference.
The Dublin 15 Faith and Justice Group work together to respond to issues of inequality and injustice.
Taking inspiration from the life of Christ and modern-day Christian leaders such as the late Archbishop Romero,  the group is actively involved in issues including promoting fair trade, tackling climate change; building inter-faith and intercultural links; combating poverty.
Spiritual guidance, education about the issues affecting people in need, and action on the issues are the cornerstones of the group.
The group warmly welcomes new members and currently meets on the last Thursday of the month in Sr Ann's house.
