The statement from CMSM is fully supported by the administration of the US Province. I recognize that there are more issues the poor are facing such as healthcare, education and food support. The statement below is a good start, and it directly affects many of our parishioners and their families as well as other communities in which we minister. Our voices as Oblates make a difference and unite us to those who suffer the injustices of our world today. Through our actions and presence we can accompany those who are most in need. I encourage you to post this in your respective place of ministry if you are so inclined.
“Leave nothing undared”

Fr. Séamus Finn, OMI, Speaks on Economic Justice & Catholic Social Teaching September 8th, 2016
On Sept. 6 Fr. Séamus Finn, OMI was one of two presenters for a webinar hosted by the Conference of Major Superiors of Men (CMSM). The webinar – Toward a More Just Economic System – focused on the role of Catholic Social Teaching within the current economic system.
The Conference of Major Superiors of Men (CMSM) is an association of the leadership of men in religious and apostolic institutes in the United States. Its Justice and Peace Office assists the Conference in fulfilling its mission to “provide a corporate influence in church and society,” and to “promote dialogue and collaboration with the conference of bishops and other major groups in church and society,” particularly regarding issues of social justice domestically, internationally, and within the church.
