Boost will continue as scheduled the week after 1st April with “Within/Without – Rod Pereira talking about the Calcutta Stations missions”.

To celebrate the launch of the Subiaco Youth Ministry, there will be a special Youth Mass on the 8th February 2008 during the 6pm Mass.

All parishoners between the ages of 16 – 35 are encouraged to attend.

After the mass there will be representatives from the Youth Group available to discuss the various activities and events planned for the Youth throughout the year. Please feel free to invite non-parishoners who might be interested.

The following report was written by Nadia Santarini about a recent activity held by the Subiaco Youth Group:

“Last Thursday I attended the Within/Without event and found it very inspiring .  We started off with a BBQ and then listened to James McMahon (Former Head of the SaS) who was very interesting and had many life experiences to share with us.  

He talked about living a well balanced life and about his experiences being Captain of the SAS team over in Afghanistan, marriage and even challenged us to think about our faith and where we are now.

Some of his stories were very powerful and touching. Then through discussion with the speaker and other young people, we were able to share our faith and discuss relevant issues within today’s society.

I recommend everyone to go to at least one of these talks and meet other young people who share the same values.”
