Social Justice Sunday: Living the Gospel in Times of Social Division - 30 Aug
The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) designate this last Sunday in August as Social Justice Sunday. The ACBC has released a Social Justice Statement on this day almost every year since 1940. The ACBC has produced two document in 2026 on the need for cohesion in society. The Cost of our Living: Economic and Social Justice for the Common Good was an invitation to listen to human stories of struggle and resilience and to support those in need. Living the Gospel in Times of Social Division , released for this Social Justice Sunday, explores how our Christian faith compels us to be agents for unity in the social contexts we inhabit, such as family, neighbourhood, workplace and parish.
