Every year in this holy season, the New Zealand Bishops asks Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand to run a fundraising campaign on their behalf – the Bishops’ Lent Appeal.
The theme for the Lent appeal in 2026 is Hear the Voice, Answer the Call – Whakarongo ki te reo, Whakahokia te karanga.
The money raised in this year’s appeal will support many projects across the world, including the dire situation facing Rohingya refugee families in Bangladesh. More than 1.3 million Rohingya are stuck in camps with few rights and constant threats of violence, trafficking and exploitation.
You can give by going to caritas.org.nz/lent, or by using the envelopes provided at Mass.
We hope you can support this important mahi – God bless!
