St Agnes’ Catholic Parish acknowledges the Birpai people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and serve. We acknowledge their deep connection to this land — its waters, skies, and stories — nurtured with wisdom, care, and resilience for countless generations. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging and extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. And as an organisation committed to care and service, St Agnes’ is dedicated to walking alongside First Nations peoples — listening, learning, and building genuine relationships grounded in respect and understanding.
