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.

Sorry Day 2008 Action Resources
These action resource sheets are intended to assist parishes, schools and other faith groups to take the next steps beyond saying sorry. Our commitment to building up right relationships in the face of past injustices will be shown more in deeds than by words.

Apology to the Stolen Generations
On 13 February 2008 the Australian Parliament made an historic apology to the Stolen Generations – Indigenous Australians forcibly removed from their families under government policies which were in force into the 1970s.
