Rights and Responsibilities is one of the seven principles of Catholic social teaching, as outlined by the United State Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The Church believes that work is important. It is more than just a way to earn money; it is a way to participate in God’s creation.

The Catholic Church teaches that we have a duty to fully engage and participate in society, in both our families and the community.

“The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society.”

God cares for all creation, and the poor and vulnerable have the greatest needs to be met to maintain their human dignity and value as beloved children of God.

As Catholics, one of our Catholic Social Teachings is Care for God’s Creation, and this helps to explain to us how we should view the environment we live in.

Solidarity at its basic meaning is the unity or agreement of feeling or action among individuals with a common interest or goal.
