Guided by the Holy Spirit, we join with others to re-imagine a future of promise and hope.
– 2024 General Chapter Statement
THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON
Each of us is made in God’s image. Human dignity is not dependent on race, creed, color, economic class, political power, social status, culture, personal abilities, gender, sexual orientation or any other dimension by which people discriminate social groupings.
CARE FOR CREATION
We are all part of the community of creation and show our respect for the Creator by our care of creation. Recent statements on the importance of environmentally and socially sustainable patterns of consumption and development have built solidly upon our Catholic tradition, which has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored.
COMMUNITY & THE COMMON GOOD
The human person is both sacred and social. Each person is brother or sister to every other and can develop as a healthy human person only in a community of relationships rooted in love and justice.
