Youth in Parish Life
There are a number of opportunities for young people to be involved in parish life. Anointed and Sent: An Australian Vision for Catholic Youth Ministry, tells us
“Young people are more likely to gain a sense of identity in the community when they are fully engaged as members, living their life in Christ. They need to be given opportunities to contribute in areas where they have gifts and skills.”
And so we extend a particular invitation to our young people to serve alongside other members of the community.
LITURGY
Sing or play an instrument?
There are several music teams across the parish that are always looking for new
members. Check back soon for more info, or approach the music team after Mass, or
contact Aaron.
Tech savvy?
There is plenty to be done! From preparing slides for Mass, operating the projector
during Mass, to helping some music groups with sound check, we're always on the
lookout for an eager set of computer savvy hands.
Enjoy reading?
Each Sunday we hear words written thousands of years ago that still have the power to
change the course of history! Will you be the voice that brings these words alive?
Like people?
No one should ever walk through the doors of a Catholic Church and feel unimportant!
One of the most important jobs before, during and after Mass, is that of making people
feel welcome, like they belong. Can you help?
OUTREACH
Twice a year the parish assists with meals at St Canice's Kitchen in Kings Cross. A cross-section of youth and adults assemble for the 8am Mass at St Leonard's, receive a blessing for the mission and travel out to Kings Cross, returning around 3pm.
(NB: There is also a Young Adults Group for parishioners aged 18-35)
