SUMMARY:Social Justice Sunday
DESCRIPTION:From 2020 forward\, Social Justice Sunday will be celebrated on the last Sunday of August. Previously it was celebrated on the last Sunday in September. \n\n\n\nA Long Tradition\n\n\n\nThe celebration of Social Justice Sunday is a long tradition in the Catholic Church in Australia. For almost every year since 1940\, our bishops have joined together to issue a major social justice statement at this time.  \n\n\n\nOf course\, the bishops also make statements on matters of social and ecological justice at other times throughout the year too. These are often issued by individual bishops delegated as spokespersons for particular issues\, or by commissions of bishops. By contrast\, the social justice statement issued in time for Social Justice Sunday is approved by and issued in the name of the whole bishops’ conference. It is hoped that these statements will inspire reflection and action throughout the whole year.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial Justice Statement 2021-22\n\n\n\nYou can  download the Statement\, launch video\, five accompanying prayer cards\, an action card\, liturgy resources and media assets on this page of our website. \n\n\n\nThe Statement affirms that “we human beings need a change of heart\, mind\, and behaviour”. It draws from Scripture\, from the theological tradition\, from Catholic Social Teaching\, and from the wisdom of the world\, including the insights of the First Nations. \n\n\n\nThe Bishops provide theological foundations to ground and inspire efforts to care for creation while responding to the needs of the disadvantaged and excluded. The Statement reflects on creation in and through the Trinity; the sacramentality of all created things; the wonder and beauty available to the contemplative eye; and the need for conversion and change of life. \n\n\n\nIn the Statement\, the Bishops invite the whole Catholic community to join them in taking up Pope Francis’ invitation to a seven-year journey towards total ecological sustainability\, guided by seven Laudato Si’ Goals. These Goals are: response to the cry of the earth; response to the cry of the poor; ecological economics; sustainable lifestyles; ecological spirituality; ecological education; and community engagement and participatory action. \n\n\n\nThe Statement especially encourages Catholic families\, communities and organisations to: listen to the First Nations; reflect on the theological foundations offered in Cry of the Earth\, Cry of the Poor; and plan their next steps towards the Laudato Si’ Goals. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPrevious Statements\n\n\n\nView and download Social Justice Statements and associated resources from 2014 – 2020 here. \n\n\n\nThe Social Justice Statements from 1988 – 2013 have been published together in a book called Building Bridges.
