MELB | ICM | GATHERING | Vigil for Children of Gaza | from 7.30am Wednesday 3 September until 1.30pm Thursday 4 September 2025

[Edited extract from public address]

Christians from various traditions have been meeting together and have decided to host a Vigil to express our deepest lament for the children currently being killed in Gaza. 

The names of children who have been killed will be spoken during the 30-hour Vigil. 

The vast majority of names will be of children killed in Gaza, as well as, the names of children killed in the last two years in Israel and the West Bank.

People from all religious traditions and philosophies are invited to join in this Vigil.

Melbourne artists will share live music to accompany the honouring of the names from 6-10pm.

Please join us in these difficult times.Sincerely,
Helen
