LEAD & Transitus
LEAD
McAuley Catholic College will again host LEAD and will be held in our hall on Thursday, 20th - Friday, March 21st. LEAD is a gathering with other young people from across the diocese to encounter Jesus Christ and the Church, experience dynamic faith, be equipped for ministry and living the Christian life, and be empowered to impact the Church and the world.
The gathering will include dynamic keynote speakers, SHINE-style rallies, Mass, small group discussions, seminars and interactive breakout sessions that provide formation in youth ministry skills. Student participation in this year’s LEAD is offered to any Year 11 and 12 students who are interested in being active in Senior Ministry Teams in schools. The cost for participants is $30.00.
Our senior students are encouraged to attend, and they can see Mr Howard or Jacob for more information.
Transitus
This week we have introduced Transitus to your child in their Year 7 Religious Education class. Transitus is a retreat for Year 7 students to grow in their discipleship of Jesus Christ, membership of His Church and to strengthen their transition into Catholic Secondary School. The word ‘transitus’ was chosen because it is the Latin word for passage, crossing, movement over, transition, transit.
We encourage you to have a discussion with your child about attending Transitus. If they wish to attend, please ensure that your child speaks to their RE teacher, Mr Howard or our College Youth Minister, Jacob to have their name included for the retreat.
Applications close on Friday, 7th March and shortly after, you shall receive all of the details of the retreat through the events module in your Compass portal, where you can give consent for your child to attend.
