The Human Concerns Committee of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in behalf of the parish community responds to Jesus' command to love neighbor and ourselves, and to His Church by working for the common good of humanity. The committee works to inspire the parish community to discern and act in ways that make the works of peace, Justice and mercy constitutive and normative elements of our daily lives. To become salt to the earth and light to the world, we work to alleviate the distresses of hunger, homelessness, disease, lack of housing, health care, and other privations. We work to establish a respect for and protection of life from conception to natural death, for the basic dignity and rights of labor, and for the basic rights and initiatives of property and business ownership. We are sustained in this mission by seeing the face of God in the person of others. We pray for God's oversight and guidance
