NAIDOC WEEK CELEBRATION 2018
On Friday, 6th July (Week 10) Claire, Angus, Alby, Xavier and myself all travelled to the Cathedral in Manuka to participate in the 2018 NAIDOC Mass.
The four children represented Holy Trinity beautifully and managed to get the perfect spots for the smoking ceremony and the Mass (nothing like telling Year 3 children that the best spots are close to the front). They chatted with the Arch Bishop and the visiting Bishop, listened beautifully and were involved in the entire Mass. The choir was amazing.
The NAIDOC Mass was attended by representatives from 90% of schools in our archdiocese and was a great celebration of Aboriginal customs, traditions and culture.
We finished our outing with morning tea at one of the cafes in Manuka. Practically perfect.
