Retreats

On Wednesday May 8, Year 11 Lasallian Youth Leaders (LYLs) had a booster day to reflect upon the legacy of St John Baptist De La Salle and to prepare for some upcoming community service, including helping to facilitate the Year 7 and 8 retreats.

Years 7 and 8 had their retreats on the 9th and 10th of May. Both retreats were conducted in the Torregiani Room of the Cathedral precinct. The Year 7 theme was 'Building Community'. The Year 8 theme was 'Heroes'. Both retreats were facilitated by the Lasallian Youth Ministry Team from Sydney, supported by our own Year 11 LYLs.

Sebastian Duhau was the Australian Auditor recently in Rome and personally gave young Australians perspectives on the Church to Pope Francis.

Both retreats were marked with great spirit, fun, games, discussion and prayer.

Thank you to all Year 11 LYLs, Year 7 and Year 8 for their cooperation and enthusiasm.
