The Church herself in Australia will not be fully the
Church that Jesus wants her to be until you have made
your contribution to her life and until that contribution
has been joyfully received by others.” These were the
words of Saint (Pope) John Paul II during his momentous
address to the Aboriginal people of Australia in 1986.
So, in this Issue of The Record Magazine, we take a
look at our Australian Aboriginal culture, as well as
the lives and contributions of it’s inspirational people
and leaders.
We take you on a journey to Perth’s own Clontarf
Aboriginal College, as well as to a meeting with Aboriginal
Catholic Ministry’s newest recruit, Aggie Pigram.
We showcase the work of Carnarvon artist Bonnie
Ingram, whose front cover image is entitled Bush
Medicine Spes, as well as Magda Lee, from the
Kimberley region and her image entitled, My Birth
Story at Old Mission.
Remember, The Record Magazine is a magazine for
the people and I hope you will enjoy taking the time
to engage with us.
