What is CST?
Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is based on our belief in God who is love and His special relationship with humanity. God sent us His Son and gives us His Spirit, and each of us has a role in sharing the love and community found in the Trinity. CST challenges us to express our faith through our actions and build a better society by reaching out to the most vulnerable. The Church encompasses the two footprints of Social Justice and Social Action.
