Reconciliation Action Group

Reconciliation in Action

With the assistance of Archdiocesan RAP resources, the Reconciliation Action Group seeks:

(1)  To build respectful relationships with Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
(2)  To gain an understanding and appreciation of the effects of racism (systemic and casual);
(3)  To acknowledge historical impacts of colonialisation on contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
(4)  To identify opportunities to build new pathways to address this through a series of activities and learning opportunities.

We know that we will not be ‘fully the Church that Jesus wants’ us to be until Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have made their contribution to the life of the Church and “until that contribution has been joyfully received by others” within the Church.
