Join us in Galong, NSW for the 2024 NATSICC Spirituality and Formation Retreat. Open to all (both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and those that work in Ministry alongside us), the retreat will provide an opportunity to pray, heal and grow in faith with one another whilst surrounded by the peace and stillness of country NSW.
200 delegates from across Australia travelled to Townsville, the land of the Bindal and Wulgurukaba Peoples, for the 2022 NATSICC Assembly. The event was particularly significant because it was the first opportunity for communities to once again come together following COVID.
By embracing technology, we were able to share in rich visual reflections which allowed participants to explore their own journeys of faith from the comfort of their own home. The virtual yarning circles were something that we had some reservations about, however the enthusiasm of the participants combined with the skill of the facilitators meant that they too were a great success. By randomizing the yarning circles in each session, participants had the opportunity to meet new people and listen to different stories.
In the words of the Plenary Council: Together, we are on a journey of listening to God by listening to one another. We invite all Australians to engage in an open and inclusive process of listening, dialogue and discernment about the future of the Catholic Church in Australia.
Held on Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island), the 2017 Retreat will bring together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics (and those who work with us) to discuss culture, faith, scripture and prayer.
NATSICC hosted a group of young Aboriginal Catholic leaders at the 2017 NATSICC Youth Gathering - incorporating the Catholic Youth Festival as part of its commitment to fostering and encouraging the next generation of leaders in the Church. The Gathering program included learning about the local people, sharing faith and building confidence.
