Peace & Justice Club


The mission of the Peace and Justice Club is to involve the members actively in facilitating peace locally as well as internationally. As a result, members commit themselves to educating the Hoban community on social justice issues through various activities, such as fair trade. This year’s fair trade show was Nov. 24. The Peace and Justice Club attempts to build awareness within the Hoban community regarding the relationship between social justice and fair trade. Hoban's Holy Cross tradition involves educating the mind as well as the heart--fair trade envelops both. It celebrates the diversity and justice that Hoban promotes.

Additionally, the club began a new program for the 2009-10 year focusing on feeding Akron’s homeless. Each Wednesday evening, members prepare food to be packed in the van and take it to various Akron locations, such as St. Bernard’s Church and Grace Park. The club welcomes any donations of food or clothing for this new endeavor.

Mr. Greg Milo is the faculty adviser of Hoban's club.  milog@hoban.org
