Justice, Peace, Integrity of Creation Ministry History
The Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes (CSA), like Catholic Women Religious throughout history, has responded to the needs of the times ever since their founding in 1858. Pursuing justice, working for peace and respecting Earth was just the way things were done.
In 1989, while she was part of the General Council for the congregation, Sister Mary Christine Fellerhoff kept the sisters informed about peace and justice issues. Between 1989 and 1993, Jan Parker, then director of Associates, assisted Sister Mary Christine in formalizing the ministry of justice and peace. Sister Mary Christine served as a part-coordinator from 1993 through 1997. Jan Parker worked with her as Assistant Coordinator for JPEC, while also serving as Co-Director of Associates with Sister Angie Behen. Sister Nieves de la Rosa became the full time coordinator in 1998 and continued until her untimely death on November 7, 2000.
Since then, the JPIC ministry has been fulfilled by Justice Coordinators:
- Sister Stella Storch, OP: April 2001-June 2013
- Sister Sally Ann Brickner, OSF: September 2013-July 2017
- Sister Ruth Battaglia, CSA: July 2017-May 2021
- Tracy Abler, CSA Associate: June 2021-Present
In addition to the resources provided on these pages, the JPIC Office sends an e-newsletter entitled “Bending the Arc,” featuring exemplars, opportunities for learning, and calls to action. To read the most recent news, visit the Bending the Arc page or subscribe.
