The Catholic Church is committed to the development of Aboriginal expressions of theology and spirituality. Pope John Paul II, in his famous message to the Aboriginal Peoples of Australia in Alice Springs 1986, stated that the Catholic Church will be lacking in its full expression if it does not embrace the spirituality of our Aboriginal people. The Australian Bishops, in their 2019 Pastoral Letter, call for all Catholics to walk alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to embrace “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander spirituality within the wider Catholic spirituality” as a means of deepening their own faith and furthering Reconciliation. As a Catholic school inspired by the great work of Saint Mary Mackillop, Fr Julian Tension Woods and today by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart we too need to give life to this aspiration.
