The Ballarat Diocese is holding Festivals called Joy+ for youth and young adults 15-30yo.  

Plenary Council 2020 wants to hear from people around Australia.  As part of the Plenary preparation process we are asked to consider and respond to three questions.  The Ballarat Diocese has a leaflet giving information about this Listening and Dialogue process.  You are asked to initiate this process in parishes and other communities and groups.  Individuals can also respond.  Your voice is important to shaping the future of the Church.  

Take the time to read and reflect on Sunday’s Gospel.
