With Catholic social teaching as its foundation, the office promotes the social ministry of the Catholic Church — respect for all human life, advocacy for the poor, seeking economic justice, and good stewardship of God’s creation — throughout the archdiocese by providing inspiration, advocacy, education, and prayer opportunities for parish staff and volunteer social ministry leaders.
