Catholic Social Teaching
Reflect on Catholic Social Teaching as we hear stories and pray with various members of the Church who work to protect the dignity of our brothers and sisters in our communities. We'll meditate on what the Church teaches about the sanctity of all human life. This praylist will continue to expand with new sessions in the future.
