This week would have been the 9th annual SHINE gathering for Youth Ministry students across the diocese. With this event and many others like it cancelled, it’s great to know that Youth Ministry within each school is alive and well. Accendere retreats for Year 4 students continue to take place in Parish Primary Schools with Exuro on offer in term 4. Meanwhile, many Secondary Schools are implementing their annual Catch the Wave retreat in preparation for launching into the Stage 5 Youth Ministry program, and wait in anticipation for the SHINE Unplugged program being developed by the CSO for implementation in schools.
For a taste of Catch the Wave check out this great video from St John’s College Woodlawn:
