All of our hearts are heavy following the tragic and devastating terror attack at Bondi. We mourn the lives lost and pray for the victims, their families, and all those who have been affected by this terrible act of violence.
We give thanks for the bravery and selflessness of first responders, medical staff, and everyday Australian hero's who acted with courage and compassion and risked their lives for the safety of others.
