Lent 2015 Light a Fire in the heart of the World
The Lenten theme, Light a Fire in the Heart of the World, comes from Pope Francis’ call to be protectors of creation and one another, particularly the poor and vulnerable.
The NZ Bishops Lent Appeal The annual Lent appeal is run by
Caritas on behalf of the NZ Catholic Bishops.
It enables Caritas to respond immediately to emergencies, help communities meet their basic survival needs and to advocate for justice to influence attitudes and create change.
Last year, your support of the Bishops’ Lent Appeal meant that more than $1 million was raised from parishes across the country.
