ITEM 7 Aboriginal Crosses
Hand painted Aboriginal designed Crosses traditional or
contemporary design
“For thousands of years my Ancestors have painted their relationship with the Creator
Spirit in caves and rocks throughout the land. Their relationship was a deep spiritual
connection with all that had been created, contemplation was a way of life, daily ritual
and prayer was their way of worship.
Many people ask me why I don’t paint the same as my ancestors?
It’s because my old people never had the story of Jesus and relationship of Jesus like
I do. I consider Jesus to be my best friend, when I’m feeling down I can call on Him,
when I’m in trouble I can a have a yarn with Him, when I feel lonely I know He is there.
So when you need someone to call on just look up at the cross and He will be there”.
Vicki Clark Mutthi Mutthi
Each Cross is the expression of the artist’s celebration of
the journey of the two ways, Vicki Clark Mutthi Mutthi

The Aboriginal Catholic Ministry for Victoria is a Member of the
Catholic Church Religious Group
Aboriginal Catholic Ministry for Victoria
2014 – 2015 catalogue
The Aboriginal Catholic Ministry for Victoria is a community of
Memory and hope with a commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.
WE ARE
Led by the Creator Spirit
We are to be perceived as an Aboriginal Community recognized for
its commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Peoples having their
rightful place in the Church and the wider Community.
Inspired by the Gospel, we are committed to the dignity
of each person to open hospitality, to truth- telling about
dispossession
and to be a place of connection.
We work for reconciliation
in partnership with those who believe
that there can be an alternative.
(Taken from the ACMV Vision Statement)
We are challenged by the words of Pope John Paul’s II message
in 1986
“You are part of Australia and Australia is part of you. And the
Church herself in Australia will not be fully the Church that Jesus
wants her to be until you have made your contribution to her life and
until that contribution has been joyfully received by others”.
(para 13)
Aboriginal symbols are a powerful sign of reconciliation,
forgiveness, love, hope and peace
