FIT FOR MISSION
It is an integral part of Fit for Mission, Ecumenism and Inter-faith leadership councilors from St Anthony’s Parish and the Auckland Diocese to promote unity amongst the Christian family and build relationships with people of other religions.
As Auckland continues to grow so do we here at St Anthony’s Parish in its ethnic and religious diversity, ecumenical and inter-faith movements become crucial in ensuring that all people, regardless of their creed, are respected and could freely exercise their faith.
The Catholic Church in Auckland collaborates with other Christian communities and religious organisations to foster unity in diversity among all people who call Aotearoa New Zealand home.
“Surely the fostering of unity is a noble task which is incumbent upon all who have at heart the good of the whole human family. It is my hope that interreligious and ecumenical cooperation will demonstrate that men and women do not have to forsake their identity, whether ethnic or religious, in order to live in harmony with their brothers and sisters.”
