Quick overview

A brilliant series of resources that take a deep look into the Catholic social teaching and putting it into action. Love in Action was put together and is ran by our fantastic sister service Caritas Westminster.

What is it

Love in Action introduces Catholic social teaching (CST) through Sunday Liturgy, group activities, and school assemblies. The programme uses a three step process to help people to engage with CST:

• INSPIRE: Six principles of CST are explored in the Sunday liturgy and in parish life: parish groups, families, with children and young people.
• FORM: People are invited to go deeper, to meet together for a workshop on CST and social action.
• DISCERN AND PLAN: People can then embark on a creative process to develop an Action Plan to discern their community response and to put love into action.

The resources are flexible and can be used to fit into your community’s pattern of life. From a light introduction to CST to a more detailed formation for those who discover they are ready for more, Love in Action will inspire people to put faith into action in small or large ways.

Note

Please note that while we have assigned an age range and timescale these are purely to ensure it comes up in your search, Love in Action works well with most age ranges and the timescale is determined through conversation with Caritas.
