John Paul II Justice and Peace Centre (JPIIJPC) was established in 2007 to respond to St. John Paul II Ecclesial in Africa which says, “The Church as the family of God in Africa must bear witness to Christ, by a firm commitment to justice and solidarity by each member of God´s People”.
Like many other countries, the People of God in Uganda are still afflicted by poverty, exploitation, corruption, violence and lack of respect for human dignity and rights. At the same time, many people feel inspired by the Gospel and discover the valuable contribution of the Catholic Social Teaching. The Centre walks in faith with these brothers and sisters towards the transformation of the Church and society in Uganda.
The Centre was named after John Paul II to keep alive the teaching of our late Holy Father who so tirelessly preached the Gospel call of peace and justice, especially in his Ecclesial in Africa after the First African Synod 1994.
JPIIJPC is at the service of the Catholic Church, but we collaborate with other institutions and faiths in order to build God´s Kingdom in Uganda. All our initiatives of training, research and advocacy seek to empower people so that our Christian faith bears abundant fruits of Justice and Peace
