Human Rights Month
When: December
(Human Rights Day: December 10th)
The Office of Life & Justice was historically two separate offices, now merged into one: the Human Rights Office and the Respect Life Office. During Human Rights Month, we’d like to share a bit more about our office!
Our Role: The Office of Life & Justice of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph supports parish Human Rights/Life and Justice ministries, provides guidance and resources, and hosts diocesan-level activities and events.
Our Programs: Human Rights-specific programs, activities, and events: directly defend or preserve the dignity of the person, have a Catholic identity or reflect a core tenet of the Catholic Faith, and provide an opportunity for the faithful to give back using their God-given gifts of time, talent and treasure.
Our Issues/topics: The Office of Life and Justice issues include incarceration and reentry, economic development, immigration, cultural diversity, plus more.
