Social Justice Sunday: 25 September

This year’s Australian Catholic Bishops’ Social Justice Statement is entitled A Place at the Table: Social justice in an ageing society. The statement celebrates the value and dignity of older people in Australian life. It challenges us to recognise their significant contribution to society and emphasises that this contribution should not be valued in mere economic terms. The statement calls for justice for those who are most vulnerable and warns about a view of older people as burdensome or dispensable. For further details about the statement, tel (02) 8306 3499 or visit the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council website: www.socialjustice.catholic.org.au
