Participation
• We are not created by God to live alone. Living in
community is an essential expression of who we are. But
Community does not just happen – it is something that
men and women must work together to develop.
• “…A community needs a soul if it is to become a true
home for human beings. You, the people must give it this
soul.” 
John Paul II
• “Participation is a duty to be fulfilled consciously by all,
with responsibility and with a view to the common good.”

 Major Themes from Catholic Social Teaching

 Dignity of works and right of workers

• The economy must serve people, not the other
way around. Work is more than a way to  make a
living; it is a form of continuing participation in
God’s creation. If  the dignity of work is to be
protected, then the basic rights of workers must 
be respected--the right to productive work, to
decent and fair wages, to the  organization and
joining of unions, to private property, and to
economic  initiative.

• Stewardship of Creation

Solidarity
• These acknowledged fundamental values
include the securing of a lasting peace, unity,
equality, freedom, security and solidarity.
 Major Themes from Catholic Social Teaching

 Subsidiarity
Subsidiarity is an organizing  principle that matters
ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least
centralized competent authority. Political decisions
should be taken at a local level if possible, rather than by
a central authority.[1] 
Subsidiarity as the idea that a central authority should
have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks
which cannot be performed effectively at a more
immediate or local level.
