Acculturation Program

From 4 -14 July we participated in an "Acculturation program" designed to provide an introduction to Australian culture. There were 19 participants from a range of countries: India, Korea, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Mexico, Tanzania and Nigeria. These had recently arrived in Australia to begin a new ministry here. Most were priests. The program was conducted at Baulkham Hills Josephite Conference Centre.
