  Educating and Working for Justice

  Another very important aspect of our faithfulness is to make ourselves available to help others in most need. There are many educational and

  service opportunities for young adults to practice the gospel values of justice and peace and to care for the less fortunate in the workplace, at

  home, and in the local community. The ministry of justice and service is both action on behalf of the poor and education.  Programs, homilies,

  and retreats help educate people to the demands of the Gospel toward our neighbor.  Some suggestions for action include the following:

• Young adults may, through catechesis, preaching, and music, work for peace in their relationships with others, especially in their jobs and in the community.
• Inviting your peers to be members of the parish or campus social justice committees or other social action organizations.
  Identify opportunities for immersion experiences during academic breaks or vacations.
• Invite young adults individually, through the workplace or through the church community, to donate services to social service agencies.
