On April 24th we will be holding a Peace Vigil in Katoomba to pay our respect to peacemakers, mourn
the devastating effects of war, and to kindle the fire of peace within our own community. Peace is an
active process. Something we participate in now. It starts in our communities as we strive for justice
for humanity and Mother Earth. This means respectful and honest acknowledgement our history
beginning with recognition of the frontier wars and the continued struggle for sovereignty of the
first nation peoples.
