Youth Afternoon at Holy Cross College

Fifteen girls from Years 10, 11 and 12 made their way to Holy Cross College to attend a Youth Afternoon on 25 March, where we had the opportunity to connect and celebrate our faith. 

Students from Holy Cross College Ryde, Marist College Eastwood and Domremy College Five Dock also attended the afternoon. The theme of the afternoon was ‘Say Yes to God’, where we engaged in group discussions, prayer and dinner. There was also a guest speaker, Fr Steve Drum.

The icebreaker of the night was to organise a dinner date with a partner, where we had to respond with ‘yes, but’ and ‘yes, and’ responses. Father Steve facilitated a guided meditation – Lectio Divina – on the Annunciation. In table groups, we discussed questions on our relationship with God. One of the questions was, ‘Are there any instances where an individual may not want to say yes to God?’

We would like to thank Ms Younan and Mr Ronchetti from Holy Cross College, who helped to organise this very fun event. We thank Miss Vu, Miss Kleist and Ms Ockert for their support in the afternoon.

This event was an inspiring experience and we will definitely attend again.
