SOCIAL JUSTICE SUNDAY 30th SEPTEMBER - AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS' STATEMENT
The Statement’s title is "The Gift of Family in Difficult Times: The social and economic challenges facing families today". In it, the Bishops remind us that families, the basis of our community of faith and the very foundation of society, can be beacons for a more compassionate and just society.
The Statement celebrates the vital role of family in our society and examines the pressures that threaten its stability. Work demands, living costs and forces of consumerism are some aspects of our society that impact on families. As Christians we are called to be supportive of all families, especially those in crisis and greatest need.
