The church has a long tradition of teaching with speaks to issues of human rights, development, peacebuilding and social justice. This is called Catholic Social Teaching and comprises Scripture, the writings of the Saints, Papal encyclicals, and documents from Bishops Conferences around the world.
The teachings below have been collated with the intention of being included in parish newsletters/bulletins to reflect either the Mass readings for that week or a significant date in the social justice calendar. These teachings are shared (week by week) as jpeg images, appropriate to the quote, on the Justice and Peace Scotland Facebook and Twitter (@JandPScotland) accounts, and all members are encouraged to share them through parish, diocesan, and personal accounts.
Anyone with an interest in obtaining these pictures independently (e.g – for inclusion on a parish website in advance) should contact office@justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk CST quotes for Sundays in 2018 will be available in the future.
For more information please contact the Justice and Peace Scotland office. Or alternatively, sign up to the J&P Scotland newsletter (details on the website -
