This weekend we hold our annual appeal in support of the work of Opening the Doors Foundation. Based at the Aboriginal Catholic Ministry Centre, the Foundation has been operating for 20 years and addresses the severe educational disadvantage that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children face to this day. Through listening to the community, the Foundation supports families to cover the extra costs of schooling that cannot be funded from other Government or educational sources, paying for items such as uniforms, school camps and books. In 2021, Opening the Doors has supported, 820 students from more than 200 schools. Envelopes will be available when we return to Masses or you can donate through the website www.openingthedoors.org.au
