Whakarongo —
deep listening
to our common home
Established in 2022 in response to Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si', our group is called to local action in Waitaha Canterbury. We hear the Karanga — the call — to care for the earth, to stand with the poor, and to live an integral ecology rooted in faith and community.
Learn about us →Because all creatures are connected, each must be cherished with love and respect, for all of us as living creatures are dependent on one another.
Laudato Si' · §42 · Pope Francis
