| Description: | We continue to explore our Theological Theme “What does the Lord Require of You? Do Justice, Love Kindness, and to Walk Humbly with Your God.” (Micah 6:8), focusing on God’s call to us to ‘Do Justice’. Our faith, from Scripture to Catholic Social Teaching, shares a vision of justice for God’s creation and all of us who live within it that transcends rules and laws. It is a morality that works towards the development of all peoples. Through reflection and dialogue, staff will explore and develop a deeper sense of the ways in which we are called by God through our baptism to look at and respond to the world through a social justice lens. They will then be able to take this learning and apply it to their daily work with students to ensure that all learners have opportunities to encounter Jesus and our call to justice in the world.
