Out of its firm commitment to social justice and by virtue of the Catholic mission of our sponsors, the College of St. Catherine and the University of St. Thomas, the CSC/UST School of Social Work recognizes Catholic Social Teaching as a rich resource that provides a framework for strengthening the way in which we educate for justice and prepare students for competent and ethical social work practice dedicated to both service and justice.

Catholic Social Teaching is the most systematic and thorough attempt by a religious faith to articulate positions on social policy. It provides a first lens to look social justice issues and seriously influences all our position statements. Catholic Social Teaching is a gift to the world and people of all faiths.
