Sacred Heart

Peace & Social Justice Commission
Richard Kowalczyk 362-8258
This commission defines and promotes the dignity of
each person. The three major goals are 1) Help
people understand and act puon the idea that peace
and social justice is an essential element of the
Gospel; 2) Help people see that the work of peace
and social justice is the work for the entire parish,
and 3) Help people see that actions of peace and
social justice take place locally. Some organizations
assisted are St. Vincent de Paul, Right to Life,
Women's Health Center, Lenten Rice bowl, and a
book drive for jail inmates. We are a people-based
commission seeking to increase our membership with
anyone at least of high school age.

We offer a prepared lunch to the family of the
deceased member of Sacred Heart Church. Funeral
homes located with LaPorte city limits inform the
families of this wonderful service; meats are paid for
by the family, while salads, vegetables and desserts
are donated by volunteers. The service is available to
members of Sacred Heart Parish and their immediate
family. Volunteers to donate a dish or help at the
meal are always welcome.
