Labor Day began more than 140 years ago as a way to recognize the contributions of American workers and the dignity of their labor.
Catholic Social Teaching reminds us that work is more than a way to earn a living. It is part of our human dignity and a way we participate in God’s creation. It also calls us to uphold the dignity of every worker and advocate for just wages, safe working conditions and opportunities for meaningful work.
Today, we give thanks for the dignity of work and for all those whose hands, hearts and talents serve others each day.
This Labor Day, honor someone whose work has made a difference in your life.
Happy Labor Day from the Notre Dame Sisters!
