Indigenous Garden Rock Installation

As part of Reconciliation Week and Naidoc Week students at MMCC have been painting rocks in readiness for the rock installation in the Indigenous Garden. The rocks are being used to create a river installation, representative of life giving water, for the land and all of God’s creation.

 

 

World Youth Day – Lisbon

“Mary rose and left in haste” – (Lk 1, 39)

August 1 – 6, 2023

Year 8 and 9 students from MMCC will be invited to attend World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon. During Term 4 2021 Year 8 and 9 Students will take part in faith formation exploring past WYD events and engaging in the Launch of WYD 2023 in Lisbon.

World Youth Day (WYD) is a worldwide encounter with the Pope celebrated about every three years in a different country. The most recent WYD was celebrated in Panama City, Panamá from January 22-27, 2019 and the next World Youth Day will be held in Lisbon, Portugal in 2023.

WYD is open to all young people who want to take part in a festive encounter centred on Jesus Christ together with their peers. This event is an opportunity to personally experience the universality of the Catholic Church and to share with the whole world the hope of many young people who are committing their lives to Christ and His Church. World Youth Day is a unique way to deepen your faith and grow closer to Christ, through prayer and the sacraments, together with hundreds of thousands of other young people who share your interests and ambitions.https://worldyouthday.com/lisbon-2023
