Caritas promotes authentic human development. This means development of the whole person. It provides for their economic, cultural, political, social and spiritual wellbeing.
YCC Day is the day when Caritas combines with Catholic schools across New Zealand as together we stand in solidarity for a good cause and raise funds and awareness for a selected focus school.
But what exactly is YCC Day?
The letters remind us of the purpose:
In 2024 we will celebrate YCC Day on Friday, 5 July.
Mark this date in your school calendar so that you can join other young Catholics across New Zealand as we come together for a good cause and have fun by wearing non-uniform for the small cost of a gold coin.
Together we can bring about lasting change for a school who are not able to enjoy the same privileges as ourselves.
For YCC Day in 2024, our focus is on extending a helping hand to Holy Trinity Primary School in Vanimo, Papua New Guinea, where 350 students are studying.
The school is currently facing significant challenges, they are particularly in dire need of essential classroom equipment, specifically desks and chairs for students.
