The Rosary- to Mary with love

Thursday (13th May) was the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. To celebrate this lovely feast, and give a 'little something' to our beautiful Mother, we gathered for a Rosary in the Cathedral, kneeling at the foot of Her shrine. We all took a turn saying a decade.

The Rosary has been Mary's favourite prayer since the 12th Century. That's the 1300's- how ancient is that!!
But despite being old, the Rosary has never gone out of date. In fact, devotion to praying it has spread, though the 'Rosary' they said hundreds of years ago is a little different to the one people say worldwide today.

AND if you're really sad that you didn't get to join us, don't worry!! October is the month of the Rosary, (May being the month of Mary) and we're planning some amazing things for that- we'll post as we get them figured out.
God bless you!

Welcome!

Hi!

My name is Elyse and at the moment I'm the person editing this blog. Later on, as I get more people blogger savvy, you'll be hearing from pretty much every person on the Lismore Youth Core Team.
The Core Team are the leaders of our Catholic youth groups, which are (at the moment) Compass and Voltage.

Voltage is a high-powered night for kids in years 7-10. The focus is on learning about your faith, PLUS playing a lot of incredibly fun games.
Date: Every Sunday
Time: 6-8pm
Venue: Parish Centre, just outside the Cathedral
Bring: A smile, a friend, and please wear trousers- the games need them!
Note: You might like to attend Sunday night Mass at the Cathedral, beginning at 5pm. Afterwards, you just go next door for a night of fun!

Compass is for young adults who want to share their faith and have a great discussion on a huge range of topics. The environment is relaxed and friendly- everyone is welcome!
Date: Every Wednesday
Time: 7-9pm
Venue: The NET house, 9 Keen St
Bring: An open mind, willingness to participate, and a good sense of humour
Note: Past topics include prayer, media vs Catholicism, abortion, and watching Horton Hears a Who, to name just a few.

So that's our youth groups. We have one other youth event which has the title Thursday Night Social Night.... ok, so we haven't really got around to naming that one.
It's just a social night at the NET house for any older teens and young adults to get together with other like-minded Catholics and relax and talk and watch a movie and play games... whatever we feel like!
Date: Every Second Thursday- see Calender for exact dates
Time: 7-9pm
Venue: NET house, 9 Keen St
Bring: Well, if you have any food just lying around the place that's just begging to be eaten... :D
Note: This night has been known to go for longer than 9pm because people wanted 'just one more round!!'



Hope to see you at one of the above!!

God bless,

Elyse
