LENT 2022: "Called to be peacemakers"
Lent is a period of forty days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in preparation for Easter.
Each year the Lent Appeal is run by Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand on behalf of the New Zealand Catholic Bishops' Conference (NZCBC) to support its work of charity and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable around the world, including New Zealand.
Caritas also makes resources available to guide reflection and prayer throughout the six weeks of Lent on the theme of the year.
The resources for parishes and communities are available here: https://caritas.org.nz/lent
Lenten resources specifically for schools are here: https://caritas.org.nz/lent-schools
The National Liturgy Office has also prepared a series of weekly reflections and lists of resources for Lent 2022:
