Who we are

1. Vision

We want a world:

  • that reflects the Kingdom of God
  • without discrimination, violence, intolerance and inhumane poverty
  • in which justice, peace, truth, freedom and solidarity rule
  • in which everyone, especially the poor, marginalised and oppressed can find hope and strength to fully realise their humanity as part of the global community

2. Mission

To work on realising the vision of a more just and pleasant world. To develop a leading role in the social-pastoral mission of the Catholic Church and to promote solidarity and social justice.
To act as the voice for the poor and marginalised and to equip them and encourage them to speak out on their own behalf.
