Te Rūnanga o te Hāhi Katorika ki Aotearoa
Our Relationship with Te Rūnanga o te Hāhi Katorika
As an advisory council to the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference, Te Rūnanga o te Hāhi Katorika includes representatives from each Diocese and an expert group which advises on the use of Te Reo Māori in a Catholic context.
In our relationships with tangata whenua, Caritas consults with Te Rūnanga o te Hāhi Katorika ki Aotearoa, the National Catholic Māori Council. Caritas also supports Te Rūnanga o te Hāhi Katorika to build its own capacity and its own relationship with other indigenous Catholics, including the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Catholic Council of Australia.
