The JPIC Database records these different efforts. Use the timeline below to explore more about the JPIC Database over the years.

Our JPIC document, Being Artisans of Hope in Our Blessed and Broken World, closes with these lines:

“This document…. does not represent a conclusion, but rather another new beginning where we now give life to the imperatives in the next phase of this JPIC journey: that of living together the call to be artisans of hope in our blessed and broken world. Together, with hope and in Cor Unum, we shall write the next pages of this JPIC story...

This JPIC Database is at the service of all of us who are writing “the next pages of this JPIC story.”
