104th World Day of Migrants and Refugees

Migrant & Refugee Week 2018

"Welcoming, Protecting, Promoting and
Integrating Migrants and Refugees."

The Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office (of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference) has produced a resource for Migrant & Refugee Week, which will be held from August 20-26, 2018.

This resource has been distributed to parishes and schools in the diocese of Ballarat.

You can also download the resource here.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
