This term, we are learning about the Catholic social teaching around solidarity and peace. We are called to commit ourselves to the common good and to bring peace to those around us. This is more than a feeling of compassion or distress at the misfortunes of others: it is a firm and persevering determination to do good in the world and work together to bring about positive action. In our learning, we found out about ways of peacefully effecting change, including through protest. We made placards addressed to some of the issues that are important to us.
