JustFaith is an educational and spiritual process that seeks

tointegrate personal spirituality and social ministry. The goal of  JustFaith is to empower participants to develop a passion for justice and to express this passion in concrete acts of social ministry. OPJ provides support and training to parishes engaging in thisprogram, including parish presentations on the JustFaith process, recruitment support, facilitator training, and on-going engagement opportunities for JustFaith graduates.
