People have a fundamental right to life and to those things necessary for human decent, such as food, shelter, health care, education and employment. People have a right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities to respect the rights of others and to work for the common good. When people lack the basic necessities to live a life of dignity, their fundamental rights are being denied.
Week 1 Presentation: November 3, 2025 | Rights and Responsibilities featuring Catholic Charities Summit County | Tess Flannery, Director
The human person is social as well as sacred. Our Catholic tradition teaches that human beings grow and achieve fulfillment in community. The family is the central social institution. Family life needs to be supported by other institutions and governments. Excessive individualism, competition and greed work against community and the common good.
Week 2 Presentation: November 10, 2025 | Call to Participation, Family and Community featuring Help Me Grow Home Visiting Program | Brenda Hernandez, Director
We are all one human family, and we are responsible for the well-being of each other. This responsibility reaches across national, racial, ethnic, economic and ideological differences. Indifference to the pain and suffering of others has no place in our interdependent society. We are all responsible for all.
Week 3 Presentation: November 17, 2025 | Solidarity featuring Immigration Legal Services
Made in the image and likeness of God, all persons are sacred. Belief in the sanctity of human life and inherent dignity of each person is the foundation of all of our social teachings. Today this value is threatened by abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia, the death penalty, and the many ways in which people are treated with disregard for their human dignity.
Week 4 Presentation: November 25, 2025 | Dignity of the Human Person featuringBishop Cosgrove Center | Terrel Valentine, Program Coordinator
