Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island Sunday Peace and Mercy for All - Living the Gospel of Hope
NAIDOC WEEK is a time when Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people celebrate their spirituality, identity, culture and survival. Many of them are still at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. As a faithful people let us acknowledge they not only have a rightful place in Australian society but they have a uniquely important contribution to make that will enrich our lives, our nation and our Church.
