Bushfire vigil organised for Wednesday at the Victory Memorial Gardens, hosted by various Wagga-based faith groups

Representatives of Wagga's Muslim and Catholic associations have joined forces to promote community care and support.

Together, they are inviting groups of all or no faith to join them at the Victory Memorial Gardens on Wednesday from 7.30pm for a vigil.

"From a historical standpoint, whenever there is suffering, tragedy, pain, when we see our fellow humans with an unprecedented loss of life and property, it leads us to reflect on how we can help," said Dr Waseem Afzal, chairperson of the Muslim Association Riverina Wagga Area (MARWA).

Dr Afzal contacted Father Paddy Sykes and Joan Saboisky as representatives of Waga's Catholic faith, with the idea to host a prayer and remembrance vigil.

Informed by their religious traditions, the core group have written liturgy of appropriate prayers that focus on the immediate needs of the Riverina community right now.

"[The prayers] reflect the loss of life, property, livestock and those who are especially deep in distress or anxiety," Dr Afzal said.

"Prayers for those fighting the fires, for them to have the strength to continue. Prayer for our political leaders and those who are leading the relief efforts."

But, the vigil is not only for those with religious convictions.

"Silence is also a kind of prayer. I've talked to a lot of people who are in distress, and even just being together can create a sense of worship through belonging," Dr Afzal said.

Also in attendance on Wednesday will be the city's mayor Greg Conkey, and evacuation centre co-ordinator Donna Argus, who will provide further information on the unfolding bushfire situation.

"People are asking, 'what can I do, how can I help', so having Donna and the mayor there will help. They know more of what's going on and hopefully, they will be able to update," said Father Paddy, parish priest at Our Lady of Fatima in Wagga.

"We're hoping for everyone to be there, the Buddhists, the Bahai, the Yazidi.

"A lot of people have just arrived in Wagga [from overseas] and for them, they may have never seen a bushfire before. This will provide us all with information."
