The Archdiocese of Liverpool Justice & Peace Commission's Annual Assembly takes place on Saturday 10 July 2021 from 10am - 12:30 on Zoom. This year's theme is: 'The World in Crisis - The Cry of the Poor'. Presentations will be given by Dr Gemma Simmonds CJ and Fr Dominic Curran.

Dr Gemma Simmonds is a sister of the Congregation of Jesus who has studied at the universities of Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro and Cambridge and worked among women and street children in Brazil as well as at HMP Holloway prison. In 2018 Gemma joined the Margaret Beaufort Institute as director of the Religious Life Institute (RLI).

Fr Dominic Curran, who was ordained in 2009 for the Archdiocese of Liverpool and has served as a priest in several parishes, is currently Parish Priest of Saint Oscar Romero Parish in Seaforth and Waterloo and has been a chaplain in multiple Hospital Trusts.
