OMI JPIC Statements on the Environment
The Oblate JPIC Office works in coalition with other faith-based groups to highlight the perspective of the poor and marginalized in public policy debates. The congregation is deeply concerned about the impacts of environmental degradation on God’s creation, human and non-human.
