Catholics for Justice
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” -Micah 6:8
Catholics for Justice (C4J) offers opportunities to learn about and reflect on Catholic Social Teachings through prayer, reading, discussion, community events, and service.
We regularly serve meals and join in hospitality with both the Catholic Worker and Sagrada Familia communities in Cleveland.
Habitat for Humanity
Catholics for Justice have also helped to rehab homes for the Cleveland Apostles Build/Habitat for Humanity projects in 2017 and 2018.

It also helps parishioners in immediate need of food or supplies due to a death in the family, the birth of a child, loss of work, illness, etc. Volunteers are needed for meal preparation, assistance at funeral luncheons, and deliveries to parishioners' homes.
