Aboriginal Support Services & Counselling

About Us

Murri Ministry provides pastoral and spiritual assistance consistent with Aboriginal culture and tradition.

Murri Ministry was formed in 1993 to respond to the spiritual needs of the Aboriginal community, by establishing an Aboriginal Catholic Ministry within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane.

The vision of Murri Ministry is expressed through the Gospel of Jesus, spirituality and culture, care and compassion, social justice, history, faith and action, effective teamwork and positive relationships with non-Indigenous people.

Our Murri Ministry also assists in:

  • community liaison that includes home visitations and referrals to other agencies
  • empowering local Indigenous communities
  • sacramental preparation for baptisms, Eucharist and weddings
  • preparation of funerals and memorial services
  • furthering reconciliation among all Australians through workshops and community celebrations
  • social justice and advocacy
  • racism and cultural awareness raising
  • supporting Indigenous youth by promoting leadership skills, cultural identity and enhancing self-esteem.
