Vincentian Chair
of Social Justice
The
Vincentian Chair of Social Justice, established and endowed by the Board
of Trustees of St. John's University and the Congregation of the Mission
in 1994, focuses on issues of social justice and the social teaching of
the Church. Its creation responded directly to the challenge Pope John
Paul II issued in 1986 to the world-wide Vincentian community not only
to only serve the poor, but also to search out causes of poverty and to
investigate solutions.
The Chair
encourages faculty research, convenes academic colloquia, offers educational
programs and sponsors the annual Social Justice lecture presented during
Founder's Week each January. A publication includes this prestigious
lecture as well as other justice presentations by faculty and others
sponsored
by the Chair.
