Catholic Schools for Peace and Justice is an organization made up of representatives from Catholic High Schools and Colleges in the Diocese of Cleveland.  There is a long tradition within these academic institutions of educating students and taking action for justice and peace as guided by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. 

The group began in 2002 after teachers and campus ministers from various Catholic High Schools recognized the need and opportunity to collaborate efforts and resources.  As colleagues in Catholic education, the school representatives meet monthly along with student representatives to share ideas, plan the events sponsored by the group, and invite each other's schools to participate in other valuable opportunities in the community. 

We hope to someday establish a culture in all Catholic schools that actively seeks to introduce all students to Catholic Social Teaching and engage all students in our common vocation of working for justice and peace.
