‘Forming lives of faith, hope and love in the light of Jesus Christ’.

2025 RECONCILIATION WEEK

The National Reconciliation Week 2025 "Bridging Now to Next" reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future.

 

"Bridging Now to Next" calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.

 

The #NRW2025 artwork created by Kalkadoon woman Bree Buttenshaw, has native plants − which are known for regenerating after fire and thriving through adversity − symbolise our collective strength and the possibilities of renewal. This is a time for growth, reflection, and commitment to walking together.

O Spirit of Love,

you in whom we live and move and have our being, heal the unseeing part of our lives. 

Lead us and awaken us to the new light. 

Open the doors of our hearts, the windows of our souls, the walls of our minds. 

Awaken us to hope. 

Awaken us to joy.

Awaken us to love. 

Awaken us to new insights. 

Make our hearts ready to receive the brightness of your presence. 

To you we give praise.

Amen
