This vigil has been cancelled.
A message from Parramatta for Palestine,
We affirm that every life is precious and together we stand against violence in all its forms.
We will redouble our efforts to work to overcome division and hatred and build communities where people are safe and can live without fear, where all people are valued and respected.
In light of the horrific attacks in Bondi, our peace vigil scheduled for Wednesday will be postponed. We hope you can join us in a future event to pray and join together for peace
* * *
Join us to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon at our upcoming candlelight vigil. Together, we will honour lives lost, raise awareness of ongoing suffering, and share a moment of reflection and hope.
Let’s come together as a community to remember, support, and send a message of peace.
For updates check the Facebook event.
