WYD08 journey continues
Students from the Canberra Campus (Signadou) joined with the Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese as they farewelled the WYD Cross and Icon and Message Stick. The final farewell was the culmination of a 12-day journey throughout the Archdiocese.
ACU National students made the journey via bus and chairlift, and then walked seven kms to the summit of Mount Kosciuszko. Once on top of the highest peak in Australia they participated in a moving ceremony in which the cross and icon were given to representatives from Wagga Wagga Diocese.
The majestic surroundings made for a moving and inspirational experience. Education student Sarah Sams said she believed the event contributed to a growing excitement about World Youth Day 2008, as
Canberra students had carried the cross to Parliament house and walked hand in hand with other pilgrims to Mount Kosciusko.
