Bishop Vincent invites YOU to World Youth Day 2027!

“World Youth Day is far more than an international event. It is a pilgrimage of faith that has transformed the lives of countless young people. Time and again, I have witnessed how this encounter with the universal Church deepens a young person’s relationship with Jesus Christ, strengthens their prayer, awakens a spirit of missionary discipleship, and forges lifelong friendships rooted in faith.”

July is here! We can’t believe we’re already halfway through the year. There’s so much to be grateful for as we reflect on all that God has done so far.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead this month…

This weekend, we’ll embark on our annual LIFTED Retreat with 60 young adults at the Benedict XVI Retreat Centre, reflecting on the theme of Abundance.

On 15 July, we’ll be hosting a retreat day for 16–17-year-olds at St Paul’s, Winston Hills. Registrations are now open at parracatholic.org

Later this month, we’re looking forward to reuniting with the pilgrims from last year’s Jubilee of Youth Pilgrimage and reconnecting as we continue the journey together.

As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we’re filled with hope and excitement for all that’s to come. Please keep our team and the young people of our Diocese in your prayers as we continue walking together in faith. 🙏✝

In two weeks, we will gather student leaders from across our Diocese for LIFTED Breakfast with the Bishop.

Later in the month we will be meeting with leaders within the Hawkesbury, Nepean, and Mountains Deaneries for further formation and connection.

It was great to see our friends who serve at Mary Immaculate, Quakers Hill last night.

We reflected on how this year has been so far and looked ahead to all that is to come. From Bollywood dancing and Pickleball to Vocations and Formation, you name it and this parish community does it all!

Let's pray for Mary Immaculate as they continue this good work! 🙏😊

Today we farewelled Sr. M. Rebecca Sampang, Schoenstatt Sister of Mary and a wonderful friend to many. 🙏

Sr Rebecca was a constant support and witness of faith to the young people in our Diocese. She particularly was a blessing to the young women through her engagement in our At The Well Gatherings.

She always carried herself with humility and faith, and was a witness to a life dedicated to Our Lord.

Sr Rebecca now rests with God and Our Blessed Mother, Mary.

Please join us in praying for Sr Rebecca, her family, friends and the Schoenstatt Sisters.
