In Their Own Words: At Providence Coffee we are committed to developing and expanding sustainable and fair business relationships. As practicing Catholics, we see fair and ethical trade as a direct call from God to live the Gospels in our own time. Our mission is to support small and disadvantaged grower-owned cooperatives and in the process offer our customers the finest Fair Trade Organic coffee.
The Fair Trade concept is deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. Fair Trade is an approach to business and trade that is based on a commitment to cherish and uphold the sacredness and dignity of every person. Fair Trade is based on cooperation and mutual benefit, and is in many ways consistent with the Catholic vision for economic activities that promote the common good.
Pope John Paul II wrote in his encyclical Centesimus Annus that a business should act not as a “society of capital goods” directed solely toward the attainment of financial goals, but rather as a “society of persons” that serves the common good of everyone. By purchasing Fair Trade products, we are putting the values of Catholic Social Teachings into action. Our purchases respect human dignity, promote economic justice and cultivate global solidarity.
