Dear All,
This week is Mental Health Week. It is part of the current Young Christian Students’ campaign and a large issue affecting youth today. Let us all do our best to creative positive environments for mental health and to recognise, listen to and support those with mental health difficulties. As St Paul said: “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
See some pictures of the young people in Port Augusta preparing for the Catholic Youth Festival. The last chance to register as part of our group is October 23 – so join us now! See other events and resources below.
God bless and Peace,
Sr Elizabeth Young

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13
This bible verse is my favourite, because it helps me get through tough times. So, when life gets tough and everything seems too hard, trust in God who will give you strength to continue.
