Catholic Social Teaching

"And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard.  You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: It is more blessed to give than to receive." 

Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is based on a tradition of episcopal and papal writings on political, economic, and social issues facing our time. An essential part of the Catholic faith, the key values of Catholic Social Teaching, are found at the core of the Gospel.  

The key themes of CST are:

Human Dignity 

Community & Participation 

Care for Creation 

Dignity in Work 

Option for the Poor 

Solidarity

Our contribution to Catholic Social Teaching and the Common Good is phenomenal as we support international, national and local charities throughout the school year. The leadership team and dedicated staff inspire pupils to contribute in order to make this world a better place. In doing so the pupils at Bishop Douglass continually demonstrate love for all members of God's family.

and many others.

Awareness of social justice issues are promoted through our weekly assemblies, in RE lessons and through the PSHCCE programme.
