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

Please check back often as this page may update daily as new information is shared both within our JPIC ministries and the Durham community. Please note that some JPIC ministry parishioner leaders email members directly, so their meetings, events, and activities may not be listed on our public calendar below.

You can also find all major JPIC events for April 2025-June 2026 on our JPIC Yearly Calendar, along with detailed information about our JPIC ministries, programs, and events on our main JPIC web page.

Thank you for supporting all of our JPIC ministries!
