Ballarat Community Notices
04 December
This ecumenical service offers an opportunity to remember and mourn those who have been killed as a result of domestic violence, to stand in solidarity with victim survivors and to reflect and commit ourselves to addressing the causes of violence in our communities. 
The service will be held on Tuesday December 10th at St Alipius Church, Ballarat East at 5.00pm. 
December 10th is the UN Human Rights Day, concluding the 16 days of Activism against gender-based violence campaign from November 25th (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women). This ecumenical service will name the dimensions and dynamics of the serious problem of violence in our society. We will name the God present in and through all our efforts to create lives free from violence. We will seek to hold the light for those who are in dark places and for those whose lives are emerging from darkness.  Joce Bignold, CEO of McAuley Community Services for Women will be the guest speaker.
All members of the community are invited to gather for this service.
