Youth Leader Update 23/12/19

Dear Youth Leader,


Most of you would have wrapped up your youth ministry for 2019 and a special big thank you to all who could join us in Perth for the Australian Catholic Youth Festival. You can relive some of the highlights via out Melbourne ACYF page or just check out what happened.

This year the AOY will be closing on Christmas Eve and reopening on Monday 6 January. The new year will see some changes in the youth office as we will be closing permanently on 13 February. On 14 February a new look ministry team that encompasses not only youth but parishes, families and the poor and the broken will be launched to assist and work with the parishes and communities. We'd like to thank you for all your support as we've worked for you over the years and look forward to continuing to assist you in the future. For now we invite you to reflect with us on 2019 and the past 11 years and of course have a safe, happy and holy Christmas season.

God Bless, 
The AOY team
