Dear All,

It has been a wonderful week, with a visit with Fr Brian up to Uluru for the quarterly Mass in Yulara. We met some lovely locals, who made us most welcome and showed us the magic of the outback sunsets and moonrises.

This Saturday we have an exciting event in the Catholic church in Kadina, which will bring together young people from the various churches to watch a film, to hear and see some Christian inspiration.

There are also youth-led Masses being planned and the continuation of Follow, Food and Friends in Port Augusta. 

A few items of interest below at the end of the big events of the past weeks – World Youth Day and the Olympics. Also some special youth Year of Mercy cards.

In Peace, Elizabeth

Youth Year of Mercy cards
The Adelaide Catholic Youth Office has produced some Year of Mercy cards especially for youth. They have 13 simple ideas for acts of mercy, including:

“Sometimes the people closest to us need some extra love. Your grandparents won’t complain if you spontaneously visit.”

“Reconcile a relationship with family, friends or God.”

“Pay it forward next time you buy a dinner or coffee.”
