Catholic Social Teaching

None of this work can be done effectively without careful formation. The Social Ministry Committee must have an opportunity to learn about Biblical justice and the principles of Catholic social teaching. Parish leaders must be provided the opportunity to learn about the various national and state offices and agencies of the Church that are trying to make our tradition a reality in the world. They must become aware of political realities at the local, state and national levels. The leaders will then in turn work with others in the parish to make sure that Catholic social teaching is being taught in our schools, Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Adult Religious Education and other places where faith formation is occurring.
