NAIDOC Week

Last Friday, 3 of our Year 6 leaders represented Holy Trinity to celebrate NAIDOC week at St Christopher’s Cathedral at Manuka. In attendance were other students and school staff from our A.C.T. Catholic primary and secondary schools. Archbishop Christopher Prowse celebrated the Mass and spoke beautifully about the need to listen and be attentive to the voices of our Indigenous students and staff in schools.

Youth Ministry

In Week 10, Term 2 our Youth Ministry Team, ran a retreat experience for their parents and carers, on the theme of hope. They used all their skills acquired during Youth Ministry meetings during the semester to share their faith and the message of the gospel. The team worked so beautifully together as disciples of love, helping one another to create a wonderful evening for their loved ones. They performed a rap, an original drama and Lucy M shared her personal faith story. The students were certainly, “People of Hope” and left everyone with an encouraging challenge to also be people of hope moving forward.
