Refugee WeekEvery year, in Australia, Refugee Week is scheduled during the week that includes 20 June, which is World Refugee Day.
Refugee Week is an opportunity to:
• Connect with, welcome and support people who are new to Australia
• Discover and celebrate the contributions refugees bring to Australia
• Educate ourselves about the issues that affect refugees and listen to the stories of
those seeking asylum
• Elevate the voice of refugees in Australia
The theme for Refugee Week this year is ‘Healing’, and The Salvation Army in Parramatta is committed to building healthy communities. In 2022, as we celebrate Refugee Week, we join with refugee communities to journey towards healing together.
To celebrate Refugee Week, the National Intercultural and All Abilities team is hosting an online national prayer meeting on
Wednesday 22 June at 7pm. If you're interested in attending the event to join in prayer and support people who are seeking safety from persecution and war you can register here:
