On August 4, Sienna-Sky Prokopec, Maya Simunija, Ivanka Portelli, Christina Stanford and Marc Ibaan attended the Winter Fiesta and 2023 World Youth Day Launch at St Patricks Cathedral. It was wonderful seeing the students engage and celebrate their faith with many young people across the archdiocese of faith and with so many Priests and religious to support and encourage them. Below is an excerpt from the experience of our College Captain, Ivanka Portelli.

“It was an amazing opportunity to attend the Winter Fiesta and launch of World Youth Day 2023. We began the evening with a Holy Hour which was dedicated to adoration, prayer, reflections and confession at St Patrick's Cathedral. After the conclusion of Holy hour, the Winter Fiesta took place on the grounds outside the Cathedral where we were treated to live music, delicious Portuguese food and great company. Archbishop Comensoli was also in attendance to formally launch World Youth Day which will be held in Lisbon, Portugal next year!

I am grateful for the opportunity that I was given to be able to attend this wonderful night.”
