Led by Delegate of the Diocesan Administrator Rev Christopher de Souza PP, Greg Whitby, Chancery representatives, Catholic Education Office leaders and a small group of local principals are currently on pilgrimage to Jordan, Israel, Assisi and Rome.
There have been five pilgrimages in total, including journeys following in the footsteps of St Paul and St Mary of the Cross MacKillop.
Each pilgrimage has provided a powerful formation experience, strengthening the faith of local Catholic leaders. In addition to supporting principals in their work of evangelisation, pilgrimages have also forged and strengthened collaboration and community between participants.
Desiree Rashada, Manager of People and Culture, will be sharing with us a small snippet each day of their experiences while on pilgrimage.
Day Twelve
We started the day with a tour of The Colosseum and Circus Maximus, the site where many Christians were Martyred. Mass was celebrated at The Basilica of St Paul and then we had a guided tour of the ancient Catacombs. In the afternoon, many of the group utilised some free time to see the sites of Rome, including the Trevi Fountain.
