Acknowledgement of Country<br />
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in<br />
which our Diocese sits, the land of the Darug and Gundungurra people.<br />
We would like to pay our respects to the Aboriginal Elders past, present and future for they<br />
hold the traditions, memories of Mother Earth on which we place our feet upon today.<br />
