3 years on from the World Meeting of Families event, we are gathering again in this Jubilee year to celebrate a Jubilee of Families!We would love for you to join us. This event is open to everyone, but will have a special focus on families. The theme for the event, as for the Jubilee year is Pilgrims of Hope, and our theme scripture is from Psalm 119:90, "Your faithfulness endures to all generations".
It will be a time of coming together to connect with other Catholics from around the diocese, to have fun and socialise, to pray together, and to be formed in how we can best live as pilgrim's of hope in today's world.
Some sessions will be split into separate streams for adults, high schoolers, and primary school students, other sessions and activities will cater to the whole group. Sunday Mass will be included as part of the event.
We are very blessed to be joined by Brendan Malone from LifeNET NZ and the Left Foot Media YouTube channel. Brendan is travelling all the way from New Zealand to present the main content during the weekend. Our diocesan NET team will also be joining us and leading the sessions for high school students.
