Evangelization Update

The Catholic bishops have identified seven themes in Catholic social teaching developed through the Church's reflection on Scripture, prayer and the wisdom acquired through centuries. Father John Rausch uses this saying to help Catholics remember these seven areas:
How Proudly Catholics Run With Social Concerns.

Follow the links for more about what Catholics believe in each of these areas and for examples of how these beliefs lead Catholics to make a difference in the counties where Glenmary serves:
H = Human Life and Dignity
P = Preferential Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
C = Call to Family, Community and Participation
R = Rights and Responsibilities of the Human Person
W = Workers and Their Dignity and Their Rights
S = Solidarity (Global Interconnectedness)
C = Care of Creation
