www.holyfamilyparish.org 15 Human Concerns Catholic Social Teaching – United States Catholic Conference of Bishops The Church's social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Solidarity We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideo- logical diff erences. We are our brothers and sisters keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. At the core of the virtue of solidar- ity is the pursuit of justice and peace. Pope Paul VI taught that if you want peace, work for justice. The Gospel calls us to be peacemakers. Our love for all our sisters and brothers demands that we promote peace in a world surrounded by violence and confl ict. It is good for people to realize that purchasing is always a moral — and not simply economic — act. Hence the consumer has a specifi c social responsibility, which goes hand-in- hand with the social responsibility of the enterprise. Consumers should be continually educated regarding their daily role, which can be exercised with respect for moral principles without diminishing the intrinsic economic rationality of the act of purchasing… It can be helpful to promote new ways of marketing products from deprived areas of the world, so as to guarantee their producers a decent return. Charity in Truth (Cari- tas in Veritate. . . ), #66 For more information visit – www.usccb.org Thank You Assist A Family and Holiday Sharing Donors The generosity of Holy Family parishioners over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays touched approximately 800 lives. Between the two programs, Assist A Family provided food for a holiday meal and gifts as well as Holiday Sharing gifts to economically challenged elderly, the disadvantaged and those with special needs in our local community. Thank You! Merry Christmas!
