The Mission of the
Oblate JPIC Office
The OMI Justice and
Peace/Integrity of Creation Office coordinates the advocacy efforts of
the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate on behalf of the interests of
the poor and abandoned in the U.S. and in the more than 65 countries
where the Oblates are in mission. These efforts include serving as a
resource for province membership, supporting the
community organizing
efforts of the Oblates in the United States, and coordinating the
Corporate Responsibility Program to insist on just practices and
policies by corporations in their worldwide operations. Our work also
includes advocacy with the United States government and other
international institutions on a variety of justice and peace issues.
