Social Justice Sunday HistorySocial Justice Sunday seeks to raise awareness about social justice issues and encourage individuals to take action in promoting fairness, equality, and human rights. This day is marked by various events and activities that advocate for the well-being of marginalized and vulnerable groups, shedding light on the importance of solidarity and social responsibility. Social Justice Sunday has strong ties to the Christian tradition, with the Catholic Church being particularly active in organizing events and distributing educational materials. The roots of this observance date back to the encyclical Rerum Novarum written by Pope Leo XIII in 1891, which discussed the rights and responsibilities of labor and capital and the role of the government in addressing social inequality. Social Justice Sunday is a opportune time to tackle unique local issues, including Indigenous rights and reconciliation, asylum seekers and refugees, and the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities. Various religious and community organizations in Australia observe Social Justice Sunday by organizing events such as seminars, workshops, and prayer services to address pertinent issues and explore potential solutions. These events aim to engage individuals and inspire them to take action within their communities, fostering a culture of active citizenship and collaboration. Social Justice Sunday falls on the last Sunday in September. Top facts about Social Justice Sunday
