‘Joy of the Gospel’ parish revitalisation weekend

June 29 and 30, 2018
Haydon Hall of St Christopher’s Pastoral Centre in Manuka

GOOD Community, Good Teaching and Preaching, along with Good Music, are the hallmarks of a thriving parish.

These mediums were explored at a deeper level when more than 100 Catholics from the Archdiocese took part in the Joy of the Gospel parish revitalisation weekend in Canberra recently.

Parishioners attending, some with their parish priest, took part in nine units over the course of the weekend with 20 minute TED Talk style addresses followed by table discussions.

Highlights included lively and informative talks by MenALIVE founder – Robert Falzon, United Nations Physiologist, Angela McCabe and musician Stephen Kirk.

Over the next few months, all attendees from the weekend will have access to a library of video content from the seminars.

A follow up review and feedback session of the Joy of the Gospel will take place at St Christopher’s Pastoral Centre on the evening of Friday, October 26. To learn more about the Joy of the Gospel parish revitalisation go to www.joyofthegospel.com.au
