Justice & Peace
Our Mission Statement
Inspired by the vision of the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching, the
members of the Justice and Peace Committee at Our Lady of the Lake Parish seek
to foster ways which promote the dignity of all persons and all creation and
bring about justice and peace. Challenged by the example of Christ, the group
strives to follow and to teach, by example, this foundational dimension of our
Faith

Prayer of St. Francis of AssisiLord,
Make me an
instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where
there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is
darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant
that I may not So much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as
to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we
receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that
we are born to eternal life.
