SINGout4JUSTICE 2020 winners

The SINGout4JUSTICE song writing competition has showcased some of the brightest musical talent in New Zealand for more than a decade.
The theme for 2020 was LIGHT. We are called to be LIGHT in our world. At times the darkness can seem to be everywhere, but God can bring justice, truth, hope, love and peace through us, even in the darkest situations. Let us allow God's LIGHT to shine brightly by standing up for what is right and being a voice that makes a difference in our world!
Pope Francis reminds us that 'God is the LIGHT that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine LIGHT is within each of us.'
