About this event
Where faith meets action
The Justice & Action Hui is a two-day gathering for people of faith who believe the Gospel calls us to respond to the needs and challenges of our time.
Grounded in Gospel values and the Catholic social tradition, we’ll journey together through the pressing issues shaping our world – from Te Tiriti o Waitangi and climate change to housing, youth disconnection, and the rising cost of living.
✨ Expect:
- Dynamic keynote speakers
- Engaging workshops
- Real and hope-filled conversations
- Reflective and prayerful spaces
- Shared kai and community
This is a space for open hearts, courageous hope, and a shared vision of a more just world together.
