What does Caritas stand for?

Caritas may refer to: The Latin term for charity, one of the three theological virtues. Inspired by Catholic faith, Caritas is the helping hand of the Church – reaching out to the poor, vulnerable and excluded, regardless of race or religion, to build a world based on justice and fraternal love.

 

The responsibilities of a Caritas Ambassador is:

• To promote and develop social action projects within the school, parish and local community.
• By demonstrating “faith in action” we can raise awareness of Caritas within the Salford Diocese.
• Integrate the seven big themes into our school and local community.
• Dignity of the Human Person.
• Family and Community.
• Solidarity of the common good.
• Rights and Responsibilities.
• Option for the Poor and Vulnerable.
• The Dignity of Work.
• Stewardship – Care for God’s Creation.
  
  'With Jesus in our hearts, we can reach our full potential.'
  
  
   

  New Caritas Ambassador Training

  The Caritas Ambassadors recently took part in a special training session with Kath Ainsley. This invaluable opportunity helped them deepen their understanding of how to live out Catholic Social Teaching through action. Equipped with new knowledge and inspiration, our ambassadors are now ready to support and guide their fellow pupils in planning and leading charity initiatives across the school. Their work will help us all to show love, compassion, and justice in our community. As Pope Francis reminds us, “A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.”
