10:10 Youth Night 

On Thursday 4 April students from Years 7-12 had the opportunity to attend a Youth night at St Vincent’s College in Ashfield. This night was run by the 10:10 Program which is part of Sydney Catholic Schools. The event began by the students mingling with one another before taking part in some icebreaker games to get to know each other. The students were then given pizza and had a chance to play some games and communicate with other members of the community. 

A member from Catholic Mission, Luke Tobin, then addressed the students about the qualities Jesus wants them to implement in their everyday lives. It started with a re-enactment of the story of the Good Samaritan in which he explained to the students that they need to make sure they are disciples of Christ and help those who are in need. The students then took part in a group task where they needed to come up with a slogan for Human Dignity and its importance and relevance within our society. 

Finally, the students took part in adoration. We went to St Vincent’s parish where students were given the opportunity for reconciliation. It was great to see the level of enthusiasm and reverence that our Domremy girls displayed during the evening. There were approximately 80 students across multiple different schools that took part in this event and it was lovely to see how passionate they all are about developing their relationship with God and other members of the community.
