The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops state that "responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation" (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship). Faith, Politics and Social Concerns applies the wisdom of Catholic theology and ethics to advocacy for social issues identified as Critical Concerns by the Sisters of Mercy. Through collaboration with religious nonprofits, students learn and practice advocacy skills.
