Tuesdays: Let Us Dream"Reading these words, I found myself looking to the world around me for signs of hope that we have heeded this invitation. Are we looking for better ways to live together as a community," questions Brendon Mannyx. FAITH MATTERS: Sharing the Good News with children"Special Religious Education provides children with a small but vital part of a child’s faith journey. Our mission is to be Good News to the students we encounter in government schools," writes Nicki Graham. A Joyful Pilgrimage Experience"You might be surprised to learn that one of my happiest and enduring memories from our recent Diocesan World Youth Day pilgrimage to the Holy Land and to Portugal is of our group of 44 young Catholics playing games, singing, and dancing together," writes Bishop Michael Kennedy.
