Lanterns light up Holy Family

When Holy Family Catholic School held its annual Mid-Autumn Festival in September, students created colourful moon lanterns symbolising its diverse culture and community.

Traditions from around the globe

From the decorative nativity scenes of the Vietnamese Catholic Community in Pooraka to ‘angels’ leaving presents for children of Hungarian heritage, Christmas is a time of rich tradition and devout worship for Adelaide’s 20 migrant communities and four Eastern rite eparchies.

Michael still giving back

During Refugee Week, 82-year-old Michael Nguyen reflected on his dramatic escape from Vietnam in 1977 and subsequently building a life in South Australia and his involvement in the local community.
