The Caritas education team engages with Catholic school students nationwide, inspiring them to serve the most vulnerable through the lens of Catholic social teaching (CST).
By exploring the principles of CST, we empower young minds to understand the root causes of injustice and advocate for sustainable solutions. Our mission is focused on nurturing hearts and minds, putting love into action as we collectively champion social and ecological justice.
Caritas hosts various events for students, aiming to raise awareness of social justice issues and raise funds for specific causes. Join us in making a difference!
Collaborating with Schools Across New Zealand
Caritas partners with schools nationwide to educate young people about injustice in our world. Our goal is to inspire future leaders to take action, live their Catholic faith, and serve those who are facing challenges.
The Education Team operates throughout Aotearoa, providing resources, conducting virtual sessions, and supporting individuals to actively engage in global social and ecological justice. Join us on this transformative journey!
