The document provides an orientation on Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) based on Catholic Social Teaching. It outlines the JPIC process of See-Judge-Act and discusses how Catholic educational institutions can integrate JPIC through their religious education, campus ministry, and pastoral ministry components using exposure, immersion, socio-pastoral education and outreach projects. It emphasizes the key role of teachers and educators in forming students to work for social justice and transformation through their vocational witness and commitment to ongoing social development.

6. Our Bases and Motivation
GOSPEL: “…to bring the good news to the poor to proclaim liberty to
captives and to the blind new sight, to set the downtrodden free, to proclaim the
Lord's year of favor.” Luke 4:18-19
“Jesus also said: I came that you may have LIFE, and have it in
abundance.” John 10:10
Catholic Social Teaching: “The task of evangelizing all people
constitutes the essential mission of the Church. Evangelizing is in fact
the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She
exists in order to evangelize, that is to say, in order to preach and teach,
to be the channel of the gift of grace, to reconcile sinners with God, and
to perpetuate Christ’s sacrifice in the Mass.” Evangelii Nuntiandi #14
“The Church is bound as a mother to give to these children of hers an
education by which their whole life can be imbued with the spirit of Christ and
at the same time do all she can to promote for all peoples the complete
perfection of the human person, the good of earthly society and the building of
a world that is more human.”
Pope Paul VI, “Declaration on Christian Education”, 1965
ABG2007

7. CEI MISSION &
THRUSTS
“…Reflecting on the mission entrusted to it by the Lord,
the Church gradually develops its pastoral instruments so
that they may become ever more effective in proclaiming
the Gospel and promoting total human formation. The
Catholic school is one of these pastoral instruments; its
specific pastoral service consists in mediating between
faith and culture: being faithful to the newness of the
Gospel…”

19. KEY ROLE OF TEACHERS IN
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
“…let teachers recognize that the Catholic school depends upon
them almost entirely for the accomplishment of its goals and
programs. They should therefore be very carefully prepared so
that both in secular and religious knowledge they are equipped
with suitable qualifications and also with a pedagogical skill that
is in keeping with the findings of the contemporary world.
Intimately linked in charity to one another and to their students
and endowed with an apostolic spirit, may teachers by their life
as much as by their instruction bear witness to Christ, the
unique Teacher.”
- “Declaration on Christian Education” (Gravissimum Educationis) #8
Pope Paul VI, 1965
ABG2007

20. “To summarize: The Lay Catholic educator is a person who
exercises a specific mission within the Church by living, in faith, a
secular vocation in the communitarian structure of the school:
with the best possible professional qualifications, with an
apostolic intention inspired by faith, for the integral formation of
the human person, in a communication of culture, in an exercise of
that pedagogy which will give emphasis to direct and personal
contact with students, giving spiritual inspiration to the
educational community of which he or she is a member, as well as
to all the different persons related to the educational community.
To this lay person, as a member of this community, the family and
the Church entrust the school's educational endeavour. Lay
teachers must be profoundly convinced that they share in the
sanctifying, and therefore educational mission of the Church; they
cannot regard themselves as cut off from the ecclesial complex.”
- “Lay Catholics in School: Witnesses to Faith” #24
Congregation for Catholic Education
Rome, 1997
ABG2007

21. CATHOLIC EDUCATORS’ VOCATION
“The vocation of every Catholic educator includes the work of
ongoing social development: to form men and women who will be
ready to take their place in society, preparing them in such a way
that they will make the kind of social commitment which will enable
them to work for the improvement of social structures, making
these structures more conformed to the principles of the Gospel…”
