The Justice and Peace Committee of St. Norbert Abbey welcomes the involvement of Norbertine lay associates, fathers, brothers, priests, and friends of the Order interested in social justice and Christian outreach. The Committee exists to provide educational programming, legislative advocacy, advice to Abbey leadership, and a Norbertine presence to local social justice and outreach efforts. It collaborates with the Conference of Major Superiors of Men Office of Justice and Peace, St. Norbert College Peace and Justice Center, Social Concerns Office of the Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin Catholic Conference, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Office of Justice, Peace and Human Development and the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility.
St. Norbert Abbey shares with local charitable organizations.
The Justice and Peace Committee recommends a different local charity to the Prior of St. Norbert Abbey to receive the weekly offertory collection from the Abbey Sunday worship community. This sum is matched from the Abbey's charitable giving fund. For May 2013, the Boys and Girls Club of Green Bay will benefit from the collection.
The Boys and Girls Club of Green Bay helps school-age youth make better choices and reach their full potential through social, educational and athletic activities.
