Welcome from Pat Mullins SJ
Each 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.

We encourage all Australians to listen carefully to the responses to the Review Report of the Aboriginal communities most affected by the intervention, and to Indigenous organizations.
