Caritas Justice Chats

Caritas promotes authentic human development. This means development of the whole person. It provides for their economic, cultural, political, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Caritas Justice Chats & Reunions 2025

In March, the Caritas Education team had the privilege of connecting with student leaders across Aotearoa through our Caritas Justice Chats. These sessions set the tone for 2025 — inspiring leaders to take initiative and begin action in their school communities.

In August, we gathered again for our Justice Chat Reunions. These follow-up sessions gave students the chance to reconnect, share their journeys so far, and draw fresh hope and inspiration for the rest of the year.

Throughout both gatherings, we were deeply encouraged by the passion, energy, and creativity of our young Catholic leaders. From service projects to fundraising initiatives, their ideas were practical, compassionate, and a true sign of faith in action.

The images below showcase just some of the incredible ideas captured during our sessions — a vision of justice, kindness, and love shaping Catholic schools in 2025.

Our 2025 Caritas Justice Chats have now wrapped up, but we’re already looking forward with excitement to our next round of conversations and action in 2026!
