Resources

Parishes

Caritas produces resources to help parishes for prayer, worship, reflection, discussion and action for social justice.

Social Justice Week

This year's Social Justice Week ran from 8-14 September, the focus was on youth employment. Social Justice Week 2014 will run from 14-20 September. Next year's theme is yet to be determined at this stage.

Lent

Lent is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in preparation for Easter. The Lent Appeal is run by Caritas on behalf of New Zealand’s Catholic Bishops to support works of charity and justice for the world’s poorest at home and abroad.

Publications

Caritas publish a wide range of publications from regular newsletters to our Social Justice booklets.

Submissions

Caritas makes submissions on matters before government and other decision makers. Our views are considered against the principles of Catholic social teaching, and the experience of the Catholic Church in working with the poor and vulnerable.

Remembering Parihaka

A resource booklet has been prepared on Parihaka –  a place of non-violent resistance in the 19th century that continues to inspire discussion and a collective response to injustice.
