Welcome from Pat Mullins SJ

Pat Mullins PhotoEach year the Province is pleased to welcome a variety of international visitors to Australia. Some come for the Tertianship Program, or for studies at the Jesuit Theological College. In 2008 many friends from around the world will visit to participate in the MAGiS08 program for World Youth Day. Whatever brings you here, you are most welcome.

These links are to help you to understand where you are, and to pay proper respect to the Traditional Custodians of these lands and waters.
