On a warm Melbourne night this week, over 150 youth leaders from parishes, youth groups and community movements across the Archdiocese gathered to share a meal at Magnificat House in North Melbourne, the headquarters of the Legion of Mary. In the first dinner of its kind, the evening was a chance for the youth ministry leaders to begin and renew friendships with fellow youth minsters, to start conversations, to share ideas, to encourage one another, and to delight in the opportunities to share the joy of Jesus with young people.
