Catholic Social Teaching

Catholicism is not just about growing in relationship with God by accepting certain theological truths. It's also about putting our faith into action through service and working towards social justice. The Church has a rich and deep well of teachings and traditions that help to make clear and promote our call to serve and respect others and the world around us. These teachings are rooted in the inherent dignity of each human person and take into consideration the well-being of all people and the whole of creation.
