St. Columban Mission for Justice, Peace and Ecology

St. Columban Mission for Justice, Peace and Ecology (or, St. Columban JPE) envisions a world where each person is empowered to help build a society that liberates the poor, welcomes all migrants, and cares for the earth. We work to create this world by equipping people of faith with the skills they need in order to evaluate public policy, build bridges between communities, and advocate for the common good. Our office is part of the Missionary Society of St. Columban, whose members live in solidarity with those who are made poor and marginalized, including the wounded earth, in 17 countries around the world. Across the world, Columbans do this through direct service projects, educational resources, community organizing, advocacy, and other initiatives. We work in Australia, Britain, Chile, China, Fiji, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Taiwan, and the United States.
