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

The artist John Dunn is a member of the Stolen Generations. These
Stations of the Cross are an exploration of his own journey and they
illustrate beautifully how Aboriginal people resonate with the sufferings
of Jesus. The set of Aboriginal Stations of the Cross Prayer cards can
be purchased from Aboriginal Catholic Ministry, Victoria. For information
contact Odette Lo Castro at Odette.LoCastro@cam.org.au.
The Diocese of Parramatta reaffirms the
wise axiom attributed to Saint Augustine of
Hippo, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials,
freedom; in all things, charity.” In this spirit,
Catholic Outlook publishes a variety of
Catholic viewpoints. They are not necessarily
the official views of the Diocese of Parramatta.
