Acknowledgement of Country

The Diocese of Sandhurst recognises the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we live, serve and worship.

We acknowledge the people of the regions of our Diocese.

We respectfully honour and acknowledge their ongoing custodianship and their connections to the land, waters and animals. We pay our respects to their culture, their Elders, past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of their peoples.

We express our gratitude in the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and commit ourselves to actively working alongside First Nations People for healing, reconciliation and justice.
