Welcome to the Birmingham Diocesan Justice & Peace Commission Website. 

The Commission aims to inform on the theology, spirituality and practice of Justice & Peace throughout the Birmingham Roman Catholic Archdiocese.

The Commission particularly encourages parishes and schools to get involved in the Justice & Peace movement. It covers areas as diverse as global issues such as cancelling the debts of the world's poorest countries; the International Peace Movement; environmental issues; housing; homelessness; supporting refugees and asylum seekers and human rights.

Within this site you can find information about important dates within the Justice & Peace year, links to other agencies involved with Justice & Peace and  resources to download to help in your existing or new Justice & Peace group. Newly included in these resources is a PDF downloadable copy of the 2008/9 events calendar and other agencies.

The latest issue of the diocesan J&P Newsletter, Summer 2009, and previous Newsletters, are available to read and download from the Documents to Download tab, left, as a pdf document.
