Te Waipounamu: Volunteer as a member of the Ecology, Justice and Peace Commission in 2024
Are you motivated to contribute to work for justice and peace inspired and informed by Catholic Social Teaching? The Archdiocesan Ecology Justice and Peace Commission and Committees (Integral Ecology, Poverty, and Bicultural Relationships) invite applications for membership for 2024. As a member you will work to promote the social teaching of the Church throughout the Archdiocese and shine a light on issues of injustice. Activities of the Commission are diverse and include making submissions to parliament, organising events such as the Season of Creation, and supporting movements such as the Living Wage Movement and Death without Debt. Most meetings are held online with travel costs for members from Te Waipounamu covered for 1-2 in-person meetings per year. Students in years 12 & 13 and members of College communities are invited to apply.
