Faith News
ACYF - Expressions of Interest
The Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) is coming to Melbourne this year, and Catholic youth from across Australia are invited to join this vibrant, faith-filled celebration! Many TCC students have previously enjoyed this uplifting event, filled with prayer, music, worship, and opportunities to grow in faith. This year, Miss Galea is seeking expressions of interest from Year 10-12 students keen to take part. This is a chance to explore your faith journey and connect with young Catholics from around the country. Email alice.galea@tccr.com.au for more information!
An invitation to Pray the Rosary
On Saturday 11th October at 11am there will be a Public Square Rosary prayed in Central Park to commemorate the appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, to three young children in Portugal in 1917. Join with members of the Rockhampton Catholic Parish for this public witness to faith and to pray for God’s merciful blessings to be poured out on our country.
