Subsidiarity is the belief that matters are to be handled at the lowest level possible and the highest level necessary, in order to allow each part of the social order to receive its due so it can carry out its proper function.

Solidarity is the firm commitment to the good of each person and of all because we are all deeply interconnected and interdependent with not only each other but all of life and creation.

Our fundamental worth is not earned but is inextricably part of being human and inherent in each person since all are created in God’s image.

Common Good is the measure of our collective progress towards creating conditions that allow everyone to flourish as God intends.
