Identity and Outreach
Andrea O'Grady
The Identity and Outreach team have been working to provide a variety of opportunities for our community to grow in faith, hope and love.
The end of term liturgy celebrated the Coming of the Light, a tradition that originated in Erub Island in the Torres Strait. This day is an island specific public holiday and many Torres Strait Islanders whether they live on the islands or the mainland will come together every year to celebrate this day.
Missio Dei
Missio Dei students who are called to serve had a wonderful time volunteering at Cairns Ironman Event on Sunday.
Additionally, they have been striving to raise $1,000 for COUCH as a $1,000 donation will support a client for 1 year to access nursing, allied health and complementary therapies aimed to enhance quality of life whilst living with cancer.
