Each month we will be having different guest speakers from around the Parramatta Diocese giving us insights into the Catholic church’s teachings on a range of different topics. If you are 18-35 come along, enjoy some food, have some fun, meet new people and develop your relationship with God and those around us.

This month we will be he having Madeleine Vella coming to talk to us on Pro Life. This talk is inspired by Saint John Paul II’s call to build a Culture of Life by understanding and promoting the dignity and sanctity of the human person. This talk will explore the doctrine of Imago Dei as well as the miracle of life. Pro-Life apologetics are incorporated as well as the beauty of fetal development
