YEARLY CALENDAR
​JUSTICE, PEACE, AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION (JPIC)

JPIC CALENDAR
​MAY 2024 - June 2025

I created two separate sections for our JPIC yearly calendar to help share information about all our Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) ministry meetings and events.

I. JPIC RECURRING MINISTRY MEETINGS
​Regularly scheduled JPIC meetings recurring on a weekly or monthly schedule.

II. JPIC MONTHLY CALENDAR
Nonrecurring JPIC meetings/events scheduled on a specific date during a calendar month

*Please Note: Since our parishioner run ministries frequently schedule new events and programming, dates and information on this page are tentative and subject to change. Some meetings and activities may only be announced "internally" through each JPIC ministry's email lists and not on our JPIC public calendar below. Please remember to visit our main JPIC web page for more detailed information and additional programs.

Thank you for all that you do for our parish and community!
