00:08Darwin's Catholic Church reflecting on Pope Francis' life and legacy.
00:12A man who fostered unity and diversity.
00:16A man who reached out to those who were seen as pretty hopeless by others or voiceless.
00:22And he wasn't afraid to say what he needed to say.
00:25But always with respect.
00:27A large portion of parishioners travelled from the Tiwi Islands.
00:31A largely Catholic community who've had close brushes with previous papal leaders.
00:36A unifying blend of Aboriginal and Catholic cultures on display.
00:41We are happy to come and share our bit of culture with everyone tonight here at the Cathedral.
00:49And I hope everyone enjoyed.

01:28So he's the only Pope I've ever felt really close to in a way, even though it was always virtual.
01:34And he had a love for young people and migrants and the poor.
01:39And they just really touched my heart.
01:41He was a shepherd that changed the church from the conflict it was in into more of a pastoral, bringing everybody back in.
