"Putting Others First"
Catholic Social Teaching is based on the belief that God has a plan for creation, a plan to build his kingdom of peace, love and justice. It holds that God has a special plan for every single one of us, whoever we are. Our part in this plan isn’t just limited to things ‘spiritual’, or times when we do “religious things.” It involves every aspect of our lives, from the things we pray about, to how we live as a responsible global citizen. The Catholic Church has seven principles of social teaching that we share with our children through all that we do, through the curriculum, special events and activity and through our ordinary actions in school. By incorporating Catholic Social Teaching into our curriculum, children are asked to put their faith into action and reflect on how their learning enables them to do so. Each collective worship refers to Catholic Social Teaching which helps make the worship relevant to our lives today. Catholic Social Teaching underpins the essence of our daily school life. As members of the Catholic Church, we are all called upon to preserve the dignity of all human beings, to care for creation, and to reach out to our sisters and brothers in need. Pope Francis emphasises that it is our duty to work together to bring about a more just and peaceful world: to put love into action. It is vital that our children can articulate the connection between Jesus' teaching and doing good deeds. We use the CAFOD Catholic Social Teaching resources and the animal mascots to support the children’s understanding of principles. We are called to uphold the principles of Catholic Social Teaching: these have been introduced to the children as part of special worhips from January 2024. Human Dignity – Everyone is Special; The Common Good– Taking Part in our Communities; The Dignity of Work – Participation; Subsidiarity – All people Should have a Say; Stewardship – Caring for God’s Creation and Gifts; Solidarity – We are One Big Family; Option for the Poor – Some People need Extra Help; Distributive Justice – Being Fair; Promoting Peace – We can be God’s instruments of Peace.
