“CST 101” – An Introduction to CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING
January 23 - March 13, 2023
Our Church’s social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith, and 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.
In this reflection series, we will share several of the key themes that are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition:
“CST 101” is a collaborative series with discussion guides provided by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). Short videos bring the themes of Catholic social teaching to life and inspire us to put our faith into action.
Join us on 8 Monday evenings at 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM beginning on Monday, January 23, 2023 in the Family Center at St. Andrew. The series will meet 8 Mondays, January 23 through March 13.
