Our Catholic faith motivates us to take a deep interest in the world around us. We help to make the Catholic viewpoint known on a range of issues from migration, the environment, to homelessness. We have a particular regard to Catholic education, especially Catholic schools. We are committed to supporting family life through advocating for a fairer tax and benefit system for families and creating a society where children can flourish.
