"Our sense of dignity is affirmed when our uniqueness is recognised and valued by those around us, as we all become global citizens"
Community
A call to community and participation sends a strong message of living by example, helping those in need in immediate and larger communities.
Care for Creation
The Natural world provides us with food, medicines, industrial resources and clothing. But it also allows us to be more fully human in every other aspect of life.
Life & Work
Getting the right life work balance is essential for a healthy approach to living life to full. While we are lucky enough to have this option in the west, finding conscience in our actions in life and work can benefit those in poverty.
Peace
Finding peace in our own lives through the forgiveness of others allows us to be free from feelings of anger and resentment. Once we have achieved this we can work for a larger peace in the world.
Solidarity
Solidarity is not just about unity of message or vision, it is about valuing our fellow human beings and respecting who they are as unique individuals.
