FOR CHARITY, JUSTICE, AND PEACE
A Catholic Commitment for the New Millennium
THE JUBILEE OF
OUR LORD’S BIRTH CALLS US "TO BRING GLAD TIDINGS TO THE POOR…TO PROCLAIM

LEARN more about Catholic social teaching and its call to
protect human life, stand with the poor, and care for creation.
REACH across boundaries of religion, race, ethnicity,
gender, and disabling conditions.
LIVE justly in family life, school, work, the marketplace,
and the political arena.
SERVE those who are poor and vulnerable, sharing more time
and talent.
GIVE more generously to those in need at home and abroad.
ADVOCATE for public policies that protect human life,
promote human dignity, preserve God’s creation, and build peace.
ENCOURAGE others to work for greater charity, justice and
peace.
