Redfern & JP2
Co ma Redfern wspólnego z papieżem Janem Pawłem II? W tamtejszym Kościele Sw.Wincentego znajduje się niezwykły fresk z fragmentem tekstu, który polski papież wyglosil w Alice Springs do rdzennej ludności Australii w 1986 roku. Byl to historyczny moment dla Aborygenów. Dla nich te slowa mają takie znaczenie jak dla Polaków homilia Jana Pawla II z czerwca 1989 roku na Placu Zwycięstwa w Warszawie: " Niech wstąpi Duch Twój i odnowi oblicze ziemi, tej ziemi".
