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.
