#WithRefugees is the theme for Refugee Week 2018 in Australia.

Today, more than ever, we need a global movement to demand the safety and rights of refugees are protected. In Australia, it is the responsibility of our Government, and each one of us to ensure people forced to flee from their homes can live with dignity and with hope.

Today’s Year 8 Retreat is focusing on Empathy and how we use our heads, hearts, eyes and ears to reach out to those in need, especially refugees.

World Refugee Day Prayer

For refugees who are separated from their families, keep them safe and guide them towards eventual reunification with their loved ones. Lord hear us. 

All: Lord hear our prayer.

For children and young people who are forced to leave their homes, provide caring adults around them and unite the international community to work for the care and protection of these young ones. Lord hear us. 

All: Lord hear our prayer.

For the Church, give us strength and courage to continue to offer a dignified welcome to those new to our country and to recognise your face in those we welcome. Lord hear u.,

All:  Lord hear our prayer.
