"Service & Action, Charity and Justice are complimentary components of parish social ministry. Neither alone is sufficient; both are essential signs of the gospel at work.” Communities of Salt and Light NCCB,1193

Simply put, our work for justice is work to bring about "right relationships." We work for justice in the various communities of which we are a part: our families; the community of St. John Neumann; Eagan; the broader metropolitan area; the state of Minnesota; the United States; and the global community. Social justice complements our Christian charity ministries by focusing on root causes of human suffering and the prevention of problems. Justice is about living out the tenets of our Catholic social teaching.
