Values and Virtues
In Year 4, we are focusing on being Generous and Grateful.
We are Generous with our gifts and use them in the service of others. We are Generous with our time and give of ourselves to serve others as God wants us to. We are Generous with our actions, doing things to help other people and make a difference in the world.
We are Grateful for the gifts God has given to us, for the gifts of other people and the blessings of each new day. We are thankful for what we have and for the people around us.
Catholic Social Teaching
Our Catholic Social Teaching is Solidarity
Solidarity is understanding that we know that we are stronger if we stand together and that some people are not as lucky as we are.
We think about St Paul's letter to the Corinthians where he writes,
"If one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or when one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it."
We can show solidarity by using our voices to help others, stand up for injustice and make the world a better place.
