At St Teresa’s we teach Religious Education using the Come and See Scheme of Work. (From September 2023 EYFS will begin to follow the new Religious Education Directory). This is supplemented by the Ten Ten online resources: Life to Full and Life to the Full Plus Programme which covers all aspects of Relationship and Health Education.
Catholic Social Teaching
Catholic Social Teaching
Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is rooted in Scripture and formed by the wisdom of Church leaders. It is our moral compass, guiding us on how to live out our faith in the world. Catholic Social Teaching is based on the belief that God has a plan for creation, a plan to build his kingdom of peace, love and justice.
Writings by Popes and Catholic leaders show how the Catholic faith can guide our response to these issues. It holds that God has a special place in this story for each of us, whoever we are.
Our part in this plan isn’t just limited to things ‘spiritual’, or things we might do on Sundays, but it involves every aspect of our lives; from things we pray about , to how we live as a responsible global citizen. Our part in this story is a vocation for the common good, a call to treat everyone as our brothers and sisters. Jesus’ introduction to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ ( Mark 12:31 ) is at the heart of how Catholics believe they should participate in their community and the wider world.
‘Catholic Social Teaching is fundamental to tackling world issues.’ (Pope Francis)
We use resources form CAFOD to support our learning across the curriculum and to support us as we strive to live out our Gospel Values in our everyday lives.
