As the Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education we are not oblivious to the cries of refugees and people seeking asylum. Our work is shaped by presence, compassion, and liberation – all tenets of the Edmund Rice tradition.

We've been busy educating ourselves in preparation for the upcoming referendum. This handbook written by Thomas Mayo and Kerry O'Brien is a fantastic resource that's been helping us understand the importance of a First Nations' Voice to Parliament. It teaches us about the implications of the Referendum and the positive impact this will have on our country! Find a copy of the handbook in bookstores across the country, or order it online.
