The Salvatorian family are excited to be able to offer you an opportunity to travel with them to the World Youth Day celebrations to be held in Lisbon, Portugal in August next year.
This 16 day Salvatorian pilgrimage from 27th July–11th Aug will take us to the significant sites of our Catholic faith in Rome, as well as the tomb of our founder, Blessed Francis Jordan, located in the Salvatorian motherhouse. We will then join with young people from all over the world to participate in the World Youth Day events spanning almost a week. After this incredible experience, we will retreat to Fatima for some time of rest and reflection before returning home. If you are a young adult aged 18-35yrs and would like to know more about this experience, please register your interest by scanning the QR code on the poster in the church foyer or complete and submit the form at https://forms.gle/FiqWLBV5UN2SH2cS8.
