Brisbane, Australia

The Romero Centre, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy Brisbane Congregation, is a community-based organisation offering support to refugees on temporary protection visas (TPVs), to former TPV holders and their families, to some asylum seekers and stateless people as well as other disadvantaged refugees. We provide a welcome and practical assistance for refugees coming from detention or suffering from its long-term effects. The Centre is entirely dependent on the funds we can raise in the community, and we hope the sale of our 2007 Calendar will help us in this regard.

The Romero Centre calendar opens to A4 size, has twelve full colour photographs and space on each day for noting appointments etc. Major Christian and Islamic festivals are indicated, as are Queensland school holidays and dates of social and cultural significance. The cost is $10.00 (plus postage).

The Romero Centre is located at 118 Park Road, Woolloongabba Q 4102. If you wish to place an order, a cheque or money order made payable to Romero Centre can be posted to PO Box 6115 Buranda Q 4102. For further queries please contact Katrina on +61 7 3393 2500 or email romerocentre@bigpond.com
