Commission on Catholic Social Teaching

The Diocesan Commission on Catholic Social Teaching was established by Bishop Boyea to assist the bishop in his ministry to catechize all the baptized in the Diocese of Lansing on the principles of Catholic social teaching, advance the dignity of the human person, and to promote the common good of society. 

It serves as a resource to the diocesan curia and parishes, to coordinate local and diocesan-wide efforts promoting Catholic social teaching.
