About Catholic Social Teaching
The Church's social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic social teaching has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and episcopal documents. The depth and richness of this tradition can be understood best through a direct reading of these documents. Use the above link to learn about the seven key themes that are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition.

Called to Show Mercy
We are all called to reflect God’s Mercy in our daily lives--for as the Our Father prayer teaches us--we will only receive mercy to the degree that we show mercy. Use the above link to reflect on the Mercy of God (based on the Jubilee Year of Mercy, 2015) or click here to learn about the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Lastly, St. Faustina has taught us to appreciate the gift of God’s Mercy; visit Divine Mercy for more information and devotions.
