A new committee formed by the Catholic Union is bringing together national Catholic charities and organisations to address some of the most pressing concerns in society today.
The Parliamentary and Society Committee, made up of leaders from across the Catholic charitable sector, held its first meeting in April, as reported by The Catholic Union.
Guest speaker Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner for England, said: "I want to make Britain the best place in the world to grow up with a renewed social contract between children and adults."
Committee chair Matt Gibbs described her address as “a catalyst for advocacy and change”, as the group sets out to influence both public life and policy through faith-led compassion and cooperation.
The committee aims to strengthen Catholic engagement in social and political spheres, championing the dignity of every person.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
