Catholic Social Teaching

Catholic social teaching (CST) is rooted in Scripture, formed by the wisdom of Church leaders, and influenced by grassroots movements. It is our moral compass, guiding us on how to live out our faith in the world.

Our faith calls us to love God and to love our neighbours in every situation, especially our sisters and brothers living in poverty. Following in the footsteps of Christ, we hope to make present in our unjust and broken world, the justice, love and peace of God. 

 

What are the principles of Catholic social teaching?

Dignity of the Human Person

Family and Community

Solidarity & The common good

Rights and Responsibilities

Option for the poor and vulnerable

The dignity of work and participation

Stewardship
