Brigidines continue to be mindful of the plight of people forced to flee homelands and seek asylum across the world.
Sisters are involved, in numerous ways, in companionship and support with refugees and asylum seekers – in communities, parishes, schools and local area opportunities.
The Melbourne – based Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project (BASP), founded in 2001, continues to work with and for people seeking asylum.
BASP advocates for a more just and humane national response and offers information and awareness within the community.
