OLD JPIC NEWSLETTERS*

*I created these JPIC e-newsletters above to replace email updates I was sending parishioners who wanted to receive additional information about our JPIC ministries, events, programing, and advocacy beyond what we could share in our weekly parish e-newsletter announcements when I first joined Immaculate Conception as the Director of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC). On occasion, I receive requests for copies of these old newsletters, so I have placed them here for anyone who is interested.

Over the Summer of 2023, I created our JPIC webpages for our various ministries, programs, and events as a more effective medium to share information. All of these various resources (webpages, newsletters, social media postings, mass announcements, meetings/events, etc.) are never intended to replace the most significant encounters you have with one another in your JPIC ministries in our parish and community. We are so grateful for all the amazing work you do to help spread God's love through our JPIC!
