Beginning in September the Parish of Santa Catalina will once again offer some presentations on Catholic Social Justice. 

 

Over the years, Santa Catalina had offered a series of presentation on the principles of Catholic Social Justice: Care for Creation ministry in the parish. 

In honor of the Jubilee Year and the 10th Anniversary of Laudato si’ we will offer another series of presentations on Catholic Social Justice and the great Vatican Documents which elaborate on how we can live this constitutive element of the Gospel.

The presentations will be done by Teresita Scully who did a series in the parish 6 years ago. 

They will be offered on two Sunday afternoons a month the meeting rooms of the parish from 1 to 2 pm mountain time and will simultaneously be available on Zoom for those who want to participate online.

Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the Hebrew prophets who announced God's special love for the poor and called God's people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ, who came "to bring glad tidings to the poor . . . liberty to captives . . . recovery of sight to the blind"(Lk 4:18-19), and who identified himself with "the least of these," the hungry and the stranger (cf. Mt 25:45). Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the eucharist.”
