articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and
episcopal documents

dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community

a way to make a living; It is a form of continuing participation in gods
creation.

brothers' and sisters'. All people are connected and in fundamental way responsible for
each others welfare. Being concerned about the welfare of all, helps to bring about the
Kingdom of God. We are in solidarity when we act for the security and properity of
others and they act for ours.

planet, living our faith in relationship with all gods creation.
