Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday Resources
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday (6 July 2025) is a day that brings the Australian Catholic Church Together to celebrate the gifts of Australia's First peoples to our Catholic Church.
The theme for this year is 'Sent Forth in Strength and Hope'. The NATSICC resource kit includes our normal Liturgy Suggestions, and Prayers of the Faithful but for 2025 we have included a Responsorial Acknowledgment and Youth Activities created in collaboration with Catholic Schools Parramatta. Thanks also to Caritas Australia for assisting with the production of the booklet.
