Justice and Peace
The quest for peace has a prominent place in the ministry of the
Archdiocese of Gulu, given that peace has eluded the people in Northern
Uganda for more than two decades. The humanitarian crisis that has
resulted continues to challenge the pastoral ministry of the
Archdiocese. In a special way, the Justice and Peace Commission of the
Archdiocese, together with CARITAS Gulu coordinate the efforts of the
Archdiocese in search for peace. The Monthly Justice and Peace
Newsletters provide a constant update on peace in the region.
