Global Solidarity
Solidarity “is the firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all.” Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, #193
Explore a rich collection of resources that bring the principle of global solidarity in Catholic Social Teaching to life. Grounded in the Gospel call to love our neighbors as ourselves, these materials inspire reflection, learning, and action toward building a world rooted in justice, compassion, and unity.
Education for Justice and Global Solidarity:
- Reflections and Prayers: Deepen your understanding of global solidarity through faith-based meditations and spiritual exercises.
- Educational Resources: Lesson plans, activities, and discussion guides to engage students and communities in understanding solidarity and its practical implications.
- Multimedia Content: Videos, stories, and graphics that highlight real-world examples of solidarity and its transformative impact.
- Advocacy Tools: Resources to support efforts for global justice, human dignity, and partnership with marginalized communities.
These resources provide a profound exploration of solidarity as a call to action, emphasizing our shared responsibility to support one another across borders, cultures, and socio-economic divides. Whether for classroom use, parish discussions, or personal enrichment, they empower individuals to live out the Church’s vision of a unified human family.
