Community & Public Education
Our third goal is "to educate the business and professional community about the leadership capability of educated, transformed criminals and the use of Catholic social teaching as a transformative tool" and what we do to accomplish this is to participate, through writing, speaking, and professional association memberships, in those venues that in some way will reach those communities. -

"To those who are searching for a new and authentic theory and praxis of liberation, the Church offers not only her social doctrine and, in general, her teaching about the human person redeeemed in Christ, but also her concrete commitment and material assistance in the struggle against marginalization and suffering." (Pope John Paul II, Centesimus Annus) |
