We find ourselves pondering whether Australia will ever be the same after COVID-19? It might be more useful to ask whether it should be the same after the pandemic. Australia can continue to learn from the challenges of the virus and embrace the gifts of First Nation’s Culture to make it a better place for all.
We have made some changes to the Resource released in July to help Parishes, Schools and organizations celebrate the contributions of Australia's First Peoples in the Catholic Church.
NAIDOC week was rescheduled to 8-15 November this year and we encourage all Catholics to take the opportunity to reflect, acknowledge and engage with First Nations Catholics.
Despite the uncertainty around the COVID Pandemic, the Council has decided to push ahead with the planning of the event – to be held from 27 September – 1 October 2021. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities need something to look forward to and the opportunity to gather in faith once again.
NATSICC is pleased to announce the launch of our new Palliative Care Packages project for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Established to address a strong need, this project provides Packages to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person (regardless of any or no religious beliefs) in the end stages of their life.
Care packs are available for any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person that needs them.
