Our Catholic Life

Catholic Social Teaching tells us how our Catholic faith guides our actions.

It comes from scripture; letters written by popes and holy people, and the examples set by Christians through history. Jesus tells us to love God and to love our neighbour… every neighbour! 

By living out Catholic Social Teaching we can build a world of justice, love and peace, where everyone has what they need. 

By looking after others and the world around us, speaking out for justice and putting Catholic Social Teaching into action we are building a brighter world together.

In school we were visited by a representative from CAFOD (The Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) who talked to us about some of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching:

• Human Dignity
• The Common Good
• Participation
• Subsidiarity
• Stewardship
• Solidarity
• Preferential Option for the Poor
• Distributive Justice
• Promoting Peace

We now have a CAFOD Club to help us put some of these ideas into action!
