Participation of Indigenous Catholics

Resources develoepd by the Participation of Indigenous Catholics working group have developed the following resources:

• Fr Carl Mackander has authored a paper - St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Fr Julian Tenison Woods, Fr Donald MacKillop SJ, Fr Duncan McNab and their ministries to Aboriginal Australians. The essay gives a detailed insight to the atrocities Indigenous Australians experienced in the 1800s and the constant challenges Mary MacKillop and her colleagues faced to fight for the human rights of our Nation’s first people. The essay is available to read HERE     
  
  
• There are many celebrations and commemorations important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Parishes are encouraged to work with the Participation of Indigenous Catholics working group, towards fully embracing and marking these significant dates. A list of the most commonly celebrated days can be found HERE
