Our bishops recommend the following ways of participating in making the world a
better place for all. As a family, see how many other ideas you can come up with under
each of the four categories. Write them in the space provided.

Protecting human life: opposing abortion, euthanasia, cloning, assisted suicide, the
death penalty; pursuing peace, caring for the most vulnerable in our communities.
OUR IDEAS:

Promoting family life: support of marriage; responsible communications; moral and

economic supports for families, community support for single parents and low income
families.
OUR IDEAS:

Pursuing social justice: working for decent jobs and just wages for all; providing
adequate assistance to poor families; overcoming a culture of violence; combating
discrimination; working for quality health care, housing, food, and education for all.
OUR IDEAS:

Practicing global solidarity: overcoming hunger and global poverty; reducing debt
and promoting development; responding to the needs of immigrants and refugees;
pursuing peace; reducing conflict in the Middle East, Africa and other parts of the
