“Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Catholic Social Teaching
1. Common Good - A true community is one where the common good is reached when we work together to befter the wellbeing of all people in our community and the wider world.
2. Human Dignity - God made each person, so every life is important and should be protected.
3. Subsidiarity - God made us to be part of communities, families and countries, so all people can share and help each other. No one community should have dominance over another or interfere in their lives.
