A gift where the money goes back to the Aboriginal Community It is really important to us Aboriginal peoples that when pilgrims come to our country they feel they are welcomed. We hope all pilgrims will go away from our country knowing something of our story and have had the opportunity to share or deep faith and Aboriginal spiritualty. It is really important to us there is a visual display of red, black and yellow colours during the Days in the Dioceses and World Youth Day in Sydney.
