WYD08 initiative one step closer
The Canberra Campus (Signadou), the Central Canberra Parish and Centracare have combined in a project which will culminate in bringing 20 East Timorese to World Youth Day 2008 (WYD08). The group will have a week in Canberra prior to heading to Sydney.
In order to ensure that the needs of the group are met, a monster raffle was held at the Signadou Campus, with Parish Pastoral Assistant Sr Kate McMahon drawing together over 20 prizes. A creative multi-cultural afternoon was also organised by Mission Engagement’s Carolyn Heath and the drawing of the raffle took on a festive theme. The events raised over $3500, with a large proportion coming from the parishioners of Central Parish.
