Catholic Social Teaching
As Catholics, we are called to live out our faith in the world and work towards building a just and compassionate society. Here are some key principles of Catholic Social Teaching:
Human Dignity
Every person is created in the image and likeness of God, and therefore, possesses inherent dignity and worth. We are called to respect and uphold the dignity of every human being, from conception to natural death.
Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
Jesus taught us to prioritize the needs of the poor and marginalized. We are called to stand in solidarity with those who are most vulnerable in our society and work towards alleviating poverty and injustice.
Subsidiarity
Subsidiarity emphasizes that decisions and actions should be taken at the most local level possible, allowing individuals and communities to have a voice and agency in shaping their own lives. This principle highlights the importance of empowering individuals and fostering a sense of community.
Solidarity
Solidarity calls us to recognize that we are all part of one human family and to work towards the common good. It invites us to bridge divides, promote unity, and advocate for justice and peace.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading the All Souls Catholic Church Bulletin. We hope you found this edition informative and inspiring. Remember, our church is not just a physical building, but a vibrant community of faith. We invite you to join us in our journey of faith, service, and fellowship.
