Diocesan communities welcome the Migrant Cross


Since first receiving the Migrant Jubilee Cross in Perth on the 18th of May 2026, Fr Bernard Balaraj has carried the Cross great distances around the Diocese of Geraldton, visiting parishes and schools and celebrating Liturgies.


On the 31st of May, after celebrating Mass and Liturgy at St Cecilia's Parish in Port Hedland, the Cross was handed over to the Archdiocese of Brisbane by Fr Bernard.
