“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.” - 3 John 2

Catholic Social Teaching
1. 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.
2. Preferential Option for the Poor - God wants us to help people who are poor, who don’t have enough food, a safe place to live, or a community of which to be a part.
3. Solidarity - God calls us to work together to address social injustices and promote the common good, ensuring that every person's dignity is respected and protected.
4. Human Dignity - God made each person, so every life is important and should be protected
5. 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.
