Catholic Religious Australia Sorry Day Statement 2008
16/5/08
This year, on May 26, Catholic Religious, along with all Australians, will commemorate Sorry Day with a little more hope in our hearts. We thank Prime Minister Rudd and the Commonwealth Parliament for making a national apology to the Stolen Generations, their families, and communities. This apology spoke to our hunger for healing and for reconciliation. The apology in itself does not alter the conditions of poverty and marginalisation of many Indigenous Australians, but it helps us know how to go forward in a respectful manner. The truth has a way of setting us free and the apology will become a source of strength for action.
