Social Justice Week
Social Justice Week 2026
Sunday, 6 – Saturday, 12 September
Social Justice Week is an ongoing commitment in the Catholic calendar to consider, reflect on, and act on a particular social justice theme through the lens of Catholic social teaching.
The overarching theme for Social Justice Week from 2026–2028 is:
You Belong | Nō Konei Anō Koe
Each year has a unique focus, and for 2026 it is:
'You Belong to God | Nā Te Atua anō koe'
This year we begin a three-year journey exploring what it means to truly belong — to God, to one another, and to creation — starting with the first and most important thread: we belong to God, made on purpose, fully known and fully loved.
