The Australian Church celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday on 5 July 2020. The events celebrate the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Australian Catholic Church. This year's theme is "Together in the Spirit". Every year the resources for the celebrations have been produced and coordinated by the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council (NATSICC).
NATSICC have modified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday resources to work in a digital setting in rethinking the ways to celebrate this special day because of COVID-19.
The first-ever live-streamed, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday Mass from the St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Adelaide will be available on the NATSICC homepage from 11.30 am EST.
Everyone around Australia and the world are encouraged to join NATSICC on 5 July 2020, to come ‘Together in the Spirit’ and celebrate the gifts of spirituality and culture.
