A Mission Statement
The mission of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation is to assist us as we reflect on our relationship with God as manifested in the fruits of conversion in our lives. This is done with special regard to the daily choices made in the areas of justice, peace making and respect for all created things and people; as brothers and sisters of penance, bringing life to the Gospel and the Gospel to Life.

Franciscan Water Well project
In 2016 the Franciscans of Sacred Heart Province in St. Louis began the African Water Wells effort as a Year of Mercy project in areas where Franciscans serve, focusing on one of the Corporal Works of Mercy, to “give drink to the thirsty.”
From Our Rule of Life
Mindful that they are bearers of peace which must be built up unceasingly, they should seek out ways of unity and fraternal harmony through dialogue, trusting in the presence of the divine seed in everyone and in the transforming power of love and pardon. Messengers of perfect joy in every circumstance, they should strive to bring joy and hope to others. (Article 19)
Let them individually and collectively be in the forefront in promoting justice by the testimony of their human lives and their courageous initiatives. Especially in the field of public life, they should make definite choices in harmony with their faith. (Article 15)
