Dealing with the challenges of the culture and to assist in understanding and explaining the principles of Catholic social teachings to friends and family members, it is important for every Catholic Family to have a “mini Social Teaching library.” This set of texts gives the clear and concise teaching of the Church on social justice and ethics. Social teaching is the part of the Gospel which we, as the Church, are responsible and privileged to proclaim and facilitate by social action.
