Easter Celebrations in our Lumen Christi Pastoral Region
The children received a flyer on Monday, outlining the Mass times in each of the churches in the Lumen Christi Region for Holy Week and Easter.
Appin Massacre Memorial
Remembering, Healing, Reconciliation
This event is a memorial to the Aboriginal people who were massacred by government troops in April 1816. This event has been held annually for over 20 years and is an important cultural gathering for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to come together in a spirit of reconciliation and healing.
The memorial ceremony involves a short walk to the site. Appropriate footwear, hats, sunscreen and bottled water are recommended. As the site has limited seating available, please feel free to bring your own fold up chairs. The event will take place regardless of weather conditions.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a safe and holy Easter holiday.
