Stories of hope: community engagement

November is Catholic Social Services’ Annual Appeal – and we’re asking for your help in supporting our work giving hope to those who need it most.

We’re sharing stories of hope made possible by Catholic Social Services supporters.

In a world where we are increasingly faced with inequity, injustice and division, connection builds bridges across fear, isolation and loneliness. Welcome and friendship fosters celebration of diversity and our common humanity.

At Catholic Social Services we partner with organisations and groups including Changemakers, Hato Hone St John and Welcoming Communities on initiatives like the Women’s Friendship Project and Aroha Afternoons.  Together, we are creating spaces where everyone feels welcomed and can meet people from different backgrounds.

In providing spaces to encounter each other, we grow understanding, listening, dialogue and trust through relationship: foundations of hope for peace in our times.
