WYD 2016 LAUNCH + YOUNG ADULT WELCOME TO ARCHBISHOP
ANTHONY – 19 May
All young adults are invited to Sydney’s launch of World Youth Day
2016. This will also be the first time that our new Archbishop will be
present at an official Archdiocesan event for young adults so it is a great
opportunity to meet and welcome him. It will be a huge night of
celebration with Polish food, Polish dancing, information stalls, a
catechesis from the Archbishop and even a spot of fine Polish vodka!
Come and hear about the exciting pilgrimages that Sydney will be taking
in 2016 to the City of Mercy. The evening will be held at St Mary’s
Cathedral College Hall on Tuesday 19 May from 7.30pm. The
Archbishop will also be presiding at City Silence (the weekly young
adult holy hour) in the Cathedral from 6.30pm. For more information see
the event at www.facebook.com/catholicyouthservices or email

WALK WITH CHRIST—SUNDAY, 7 JUNE 2015
Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ
Sydney’s Annual Procession of The Blessed
Sacrament.
Step out in faith! Join thousands of Catholics in procession
through the streets of Sydney as we sing and pray for our needs
and the needs of our city. Write your wishes and hopes in our
Parish’s "Book of Life" which will be carried in the Procession
and blessed at final prayers. THE BOOK CAN BE FOUND IN
THE FOYER OF THE CHURCH FROM THIS WEEKEND.
Starting from St Patrick’s, Church Hill (Grosvenor St), the
procession travels through the streets of Sydney and culminates
with prayer and Benediction at St Mary’s Cathedral forecourt.
Please assemble at Lang Park, opposite St. Patrick's Church Hill
at 2pm. The procession will commence at 2:30pm.
Walk With Christ provides an opportunity for participants to pray
for the needs of the city, to strengthen their Catholic identity and
most importantly, to affirm their faith in the Eucharist.
Walk With Christ engages Catholics of all ages and backgrounds
and revives a rich Catholic tradition of public faith demonstration.
Don't miss this extraordinary event! Bring your family and friends
and join us as we witness to the presence of Christ in our city.
We are having a special collection this weekend at all masses for
the Caritas Nepal Earthquake Appeal. This will help raise money
for the victims of the Earthquake. You will be aware that over
7,250 people have been confirmed to date, as having perished in
this tragedy.
Given the urgency of raising funds for the Nepal Earthquake
Appeal, it will not be possible to print and circulate an envelope
for this Appeal. For those parishioners who require a tax
deductible receipt for their donation, it will be necessary for
them to either:
1. Give online to Caritas at http://www.caritas.org.au or
2. Telephone Caritas toll free on 1800 024 413 to record their
donation.
