St Columbans Mission
The Spirituality and Practice of Social Justice
In this conversation, Columban Fr Kelvin Barrett explains that the spirituality of social justice is rooted in Jesus’ example of reaching out to the marginalised and affirming every person's dignity. This belief is grounded in the notion that all people are created by God. He emphasises that Catholic social teaching upholds human dignity and solidarity. He encourages Catholics to take practical actions like supporting those affected by the cost-of-living crisis, volunteering, advocating for affordable housing and fair wages, and fostering a culture of encounter. These actions help strengthen social cohesion and reflect the Gospel's call for justice and compassion.
