Catholic Social Teachings

The work of Catholic Charities West Michigan is deeply rooted in Catholic Social Teaching. 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. Often referred to as the best kept secret of Catholicism, Catholic Social Teaching refers to a body of official writings issued by popes, bishops, and other prominent faith leaders.
