This resource was developed for the One Journey, Together. campaign in collaboration with the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council (NATSICC). One Journey, Together. gathers a range of Catholic First Nations and non-First Nations perspectives, to support Catholic Australians to make an informed decision in the 2023 referendum on constitutional recognition for First Nations Peoples through an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.
This reflection on Catholic Social Teaching principles (CSTs) comes with an accompanying series of discussion questions and a prayer. It aims to spark contemplation, dialogue and action towards the goals of First Nations recognition, truth-telling, equity and reconciliation.
