150th Anniversary
Justice Ministries
In 2021, Bishop Hughes announced the formation of three new diocesan groups: the Racial History Committee, the Racial Justice and Healing Commission, and the Commission for Justice and Peace. These groups join the Anti-Racism Commission in forming a fulsome approach to justice ministry in our diocese.
