NAIDOC WEEK Sunday 6th - Sunday 13th July

The theme for NAIDOC Week 2025 is "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy". This theme celebrates the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week and highlights the achievements of past generations while also looking forward to the future leaders and their vision for First Nations communities. It emphasizes the importance of young leaders, the strength of communities, and the enduring legacy being built for future generations. 

National Aborgiginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday - 6th July

This year, we come together under the theme: “Sent Forth in Strength and Hope.” It is Christ who sends us to walk together in faith, grounded in the deep spirituality and culture of First Nations Peoples, strengthened by the Gospel, and filled with hope for the future God is leading us into.

Our Catholic Church is a tapestry woven from many cultures.  From the enduring wisdom of the world’s oldest continuingcultures — the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples —to those who have journeyed from distant lands, we are one Body in Christ. In our diversity, we discover richness. In our unity, we find strength. And in every heart, we see the Spirit of God atwork.  Saint John Paul II once reminded us: 

“The Church herself is enriched by the development of differentforms of culture... she takes them up in her evangelising missionand adopts them".

On this day, we honour that truth. We celebrate the living story of faith and culture walking hand in hand — of ancient traditions alive in Christ, and of a Church made more whole when all are welcomed, seen, and heard.
