Archbishop’s statement on the National Day of Mourning

22 January, 2026

Archbishop of Sydney

Public Statement

“Our National Day of Mourning”

Today we remember, honour and mourn our fellow Australians who were robbed of their lives on December 14 last year, and we express our sympathy and solidarity with all who grieve their loss.

We remember that God abhors violence and we commit ourselves to pursuing and protecting the freedom of all Australians to live in peace and safety.

We must learn the lessons of this unspeakable tragedy beginning with the determination to reject anti-semitism whereever and whenever we enounter it.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which Anglican churches, schools and organisations meet and serve
from the Hawkesbury River south to Ulladulla and Sutton Forest, and west to the Blue Mountains and Lithgow.
We acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging,
and pray that God will unite us all in a knowledge of his Son, in whom all things were created.
