Social Justice Sunday 2024
Social justice Sunday is observed annually on the final Sunday of August. This year’s commemoration is on Sunday, August 25. The Catholic Church in Australia has a long tradition of commemorating Social Justice Sunday. The Church has issued an annual Social Justice Statement practically every year since 1940. The social justice remarks are made on behalf of the entire bishops’ conference in time for Social Justice Sunday. These declarations are issued with the hope of provoking thought and action throughout the year.
Violence in many parts of the world make it all the more urgent that all who believe in Jesus Christ work together with everyone of good will, all who love truth, to show the world that there is a realistic way to peace.
The Social Justice Statement for 2024–25 is entitled Truth and Peace: A Gospel Word in a Violent World. The document is available at the link below.
