What people are saying about IFN’s Places of Worship Tours!
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to visit and learn from so many interesting and engaging faith leaders on our tour yesterday. The team from the City of Greater Dandenong (CoGD) really enjoyed the tour (and lunch!).
Thank you so much for your commitment to our Interfaith excursion last Thursday and for your amazing facilitation between the participants at each segment of the day. We all had such a wonderful experience and felt so welcome at all the different places of worship that we visited. The Interfaith Program is so worthwhile, and we would like to make it a part of our annual Religious Program going forward.

Our 5/6 students thoroughly enjoyed the interfaith excursion, gaining profound insights from visiting Hindu, Islamic, and Buddhist temples. The excursion provided a deeper understanding of diverse faiths, and the highlight was the inspiring message, ‘Understanding leads to acceptance,’ shared by Mr. Tran at the Buddhist temple. The planning and execution of the excursion were exceptional, and we are eager to repeat this valuable experience in the future. We believe other schools would greatly benefit from such an enriching program.
The places we visited were just beautiful!
The Interfaith Tour was absolutely fantastic! It was such an insightful experience, learning directly from faith leaders was eye-opening and inspiring. I came away with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for our diverse community.
Attending a guided Places of Worship Tour with the Interfaith Network of the City of Greater Dandenong was a deeply enriching experience. Visiting various places of worship, I became acutely aware of the diverse ways people practice their faith, yet at the core, we are all the same. For over 30 years, these tours have shown that religion should unite, not divide, us.
Gurdwara, what a fantastic community kitchen they have, its open to everybody, and the food smells so good!
Faith leaders were very generous of their time.
Such a great day, I learnt a lot.
