The “Consistent Ethic of Life” at the heart of the Church teachings calls us to promote the dignity of all humans regardless of race, age, nationality, income or state of health.  Yet we live in a world that discriminates and clearly values some over others.  How do we teach our children and grandchildren to value the dignity of all humans?  How can we promote human dignity in small and large ways?  Come learn, discuss and discover how.In  the letter The Gospel of Life  written in 1995, Pope John Paul II eloquently writes about  the value of all life and the dignity of the human person.   This session will help us explore this central teaching of our Church and discuss ways to live this teaching and build these values in our families and in our world.Charity and peace begin at home and it is often at home that we find “keeping the peace” most difficult.  This session will explore ways we can teach and build respect in our families and put into practice a commitment to nonviolence and the Christian challenge to love others.

We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation.  This session will explore teaching and practical ways each of us can respond to this call and invites us to pray, learn, assess, act and advocate.   Resources for all ages will be shared.
