Easter Message from JRS Australia’s Acting Country Director
17 April 2025

Hi everyone, Josephine from Jesuit Refugee Service Australia here.
On behalf of our team, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who’s contributed so generously to our Easter appeal. We are so thrilled that our message of hope as a call to action has resonated so strongly across our community of supporters.
And to everyone who’s donated to our mission of accompaniment, service, and advocacy for and with people seeking asylum, we say thank you.
Together, we can send a very strong message that the discrimination and dehumanisation of forcibly displaced people will not be tolerated.
Josephine Rechichi, JRS Australia Acting Country Director
As we head towards the federal election, we’d like to ask you to continue journeying with us and use your voice and vote to support people seeking asylum.
Together, we can send a very strong message that the discrimination and dehumanisation of forcibly displaced people will not be tolerated.
Our hope for a better tomorrow begins today with our words and our actions.
And in the spirit of Easter and the miracle of the risen Christ, may our hearts be open to kindness and may we turn away from division.
On behalf of everyone here at Team JRS, we wish you a Happy Easter and look forward to you continuing to be part of our mission.
Thank you.
