Social Justice



Social Justice
Social Justice concerns itself with our responsibility to ensure that all people are given a “fair go”. Some issues that social justice aims to cover are:

Poverty
Child Labour
Refuges
Homelessness
Hunger
Dignity of the Human Person
Belief in the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all Catholic social teaching. Human life is sacred, and the dignity of the human person is the starting point for a moral vision for society. This principle is grounded in the idea that the person is made in the image of God. The person is the clearest reflection of God among us.
