Support our Young Adults on their WYD Pilgrimage!

Hello! Our names are Sarah, Thomas, and Chloe and we are parishioners of St Agnes' Catholic Parish. We are all alumni of schools within the Diocese of Lismore and are all attending World Youth Day 2023, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Here's a little more about us...

Sarah has been involved in our Parish for many years, and has often been a reader or altar server at Mass. She was also heavily involved in all Liturgical and Youth events during her years at school. Sarah is currently studying Nursing, with only 1 year remaining before graduating from University.

Thomas is a Ministry Assistant (formally called Youth Ministry Officer) at Newman Senior Technical College here in Port, with previously having another 2 years of experience at McAuley Catholic College in Grafton. Although new to our Parish and town, Thomas has settled in well and is enjoying his time at NSTC, the Vocational Education and Training College in Port.

Chloe has had two years of experience as a Youth Ministry Officer at St Joseph's Regional College and is now working as the IT Multimedia and Administration Officer for Understanding Faith - a comprehensive online RE resource for primary and secondary schools in Australia.

Together, we will join hundreds of thousands of youth across to World, and will to travel to Spain and Portugal to attend World Youth Day and other corresponding events. This 3-week trip is all at once a pilgrimage, a celebration of youth, an expression of the universal Church, and a powerful moment of evangelisation for the world of youth. There will be many moments of prayer, worship, and celebration.

We would deeply appreciate any assistance with this pilgrimage - any donation is a considerable amount of help!

Thank you all!

Sarah, Thomas and Chloe.
