Northern Territory Aboriginal Resources and links
Many communities in the Northern Territory would consider themselves 'Catholic Communities' where the Parish serves as the hub. We have compiled a contact list of Parishes as well as Aboriginal Community contacts should you wish to make contact in your travels through the territory. Additionally, if you live in the NT, you will find the contact details for the Parish Priests useful.
