Inter-Religious Easter Visits

      Melbournian Muslims attended Easter mass in Anglican and Catholic cathedrals and churches on Easter Sunday as part of the Australian Intercultural Society’s annual Easter Visits. Participating in groups of about 15-20 people, individuals visited St Paul's Anglican Cathedral and St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral in Melbourne as well as St Paul Apostle Catholic Church in Endeavour Hills, Stella Maris Catholic Church in Beaumaris and Holy Trinity Anglican Church, in Williamstown. The presence of the Muslims was officially acknowledged during the mass as they were welcomed into the churches and cathedrals. Some of the guests had the opportunity to address the Church goers for a few minutes, extending their greetings of peace and friendship. In some locations, the Mass was followed by a period of socializing over refreshments.
