Speak for Faith Competition

Three budding politicians Rory Hewson, Charlie Richards and Cullen Binet, spoke in the ‘Speak for Faith’ Competition at the Catholic Education Centre, Leederville last Tuesday 8 August. The students presented a five minute prepared speech and a two minute impromptu speech. Rory spoke compellingly about Australia’s inadequate structures to integrate refugees and how that contributes to negative perceptions of the asylum seeker crisis. Charlie joined in the current debate on same sex marriage, arguing whether the change in law would really make same sex couples happier in light of Natural Law. Cullen diagnosed the worrying signs of declining Mass attendance, calling for a frank conversation in the Church to stem the tide. Well done to our students for their enthusiasm and efforts and a thank you to the Catenians who sponsored the event.
