On Saturday 2 August, Mark Cooper will present on how privileged he feels to continue to deepen and understand his faith through his
ongoing friendships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as peoples from cultures around the world.

Mark grew up in Djilang/Geelong (Wadawurrung Country) where his family welcomed to their home peoples of cultures from all around world. At 19 years old, he left Australia to work voluntarily in the West Papuan refugee camps. He was ordained a Passionist priest at St Bernard’s Parish, Belmont, in 1992, and has lived and worked in remote First Nations communities.
