How can Catholic educators help students think about midterm elections through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching? This resource invites students to explore faithful citizenship, conscience formation, political participation, and the common good as they consider the role of elections in a democracy.

Rather than telling voters how to vote, this activity provides a Catholic framework for evaluating public choices through principles such as human dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity, and the common good. Students reflect on how voting, public dialogue, advocacy, community engagement, and accountability can contribute to a more just society, with particular attention to the experiences of people who are poor, vulnerable, or excluded.

Designed for Catholic educators and secondary students, this resource offers reflection questions and connections to Catholic Social Teaching and faithful citizenship, helping students consider how their faith can inform their participation in civic and public life.
