It's Social Justice Week! Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand has many great resources to empower communities to build peace.

Among the resources available are materials for schools, including learning activities, stories, liturgy, peacebuilding blueprints, posters to display, stickers, and a Pilgrims of Hope Peace Passport. The resources can be accessed here:

As Matthew 5:9 says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."
