Catholic Social Teaching

‘What are we called to stand up for?’

At St Wilfrid’s, we believe that our Catholic Life is underpinned by principles that we have chosen rooted in Catholic Social Teaching. There are seven guiding principles and we have chosen to focus on the following set:

• Dignity
• Community and Participation
• Creation
• Solidarity and Peace
• Option for the poor
• Dignity of workers

On Mondays, we emphasise these principles during ‘Sing and Pray’ and link them to hymns, scripture and acts of charity. Our key scripture focus is Matthew 25, ‘Truly I tell you , whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

This call to serve is supported by the Mini Vinnies, the Chaplaincy team and all children in school.
