Justice and Peace Scotland - If you want peace, work for justice


Justice and Peace Scotland advocates, campaigns, and facilitates action in the areas of peacebuilding, non-violence, social justice, care for creation, and human rights. We support Scotland’s Catholic community to live out the values of the gospel by responding to situations of injustice at local, national, and international levels. All our work is guided by Catholic Social Teaching and its associated principles such as upholding human dignity, solidarity, striving for the common good, and the preferential option for the poor and vulnerable.

Contact us for advice or support with any justice and peace activity in your parish, diocese, or school or to learn more about what we do, how you can get involved, and to find out more about our actions and campaigns. Justice and Peace Scotland can facilitate talks and workshops on a range of justice and peace topics for parish and community groups, schools, youth groups, or student societies.

Stay informed about events and campaigns by following us on social media.

Download the 'Prayer For Our Earth' Service booklet here.   

Now that COP26 is over, we hope you will think about using this booklet in schools, groups and parishes to pray for our collective ecological conversion, that we will no longer see ourselves as "consumers" - here to exploit the earth's resources, but as stewards of God's creation with the aim of passing on a healthy planet to the next generation.
