MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of JPIC is to assist professed Secular Franciscans as they reflect on their relationship with God as manifested
in the fruits of conversion in their lives. This with special regard to the daily
choices made in the areas of justice, peacemaking and respect for all created things and people; as brothers and sisters of
penance, bringing life to the Gospel and the Gospel to life. Pg. 19 Tau-USA fall-2010 issue #68.
