JPIC

In his encyclical Laudato Sì Pope Francis asserts that all creation holds this world we inhabit in common and that we are all connected.

Recently Pope Francis declared a year of celebration in honor of Saint Joseph, whose feast day we celebrate this month on the 19th.

February 8 marks the 81st anniversary of the death of Servant of God, Fr. Paul James Francis Wattson, SA, in 1940.

Pope Francis has invited all people to reflect on the important work of building peace. Below, Fr. David Poirier, SA , Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation Promoter (JPIC) for the Friars of the Atonement offers his reflections on the World Day of Peace, celebrated in the Catholic Church on January 1 each year.
