2021’s Social Justice focus was based on linking our College motto ‘Live fully, Act Justly’, with the Caritas 2021 Motto “Aspire not to have more, but to be more” – Oscar Romero. However, this wasn’t the only drive behind the work and commitment of the fabulous Social Justice team. Each member was asked to share with the community their favourite quote or phrase, which plays a huge part in the work that they do at CRCCS.
Enjoy and God bless!
