Last Wednesday, the Melbourne Diocese held an Australian Catholic Youth Festival (ACYF) reunion special for all Melbourne pilgrims who had attended the festival in Perth in December last year. This reunion was streamed both on YouTube and through the Melbourne ACYF Facebook page and most of the College’s group of festival-goers were able to attend. The event included live music, an interview with Archbishop Peter Commensoli and reflections on the 2019 festival.
Here is what some of our students had to say about the night:
My favourite part of the livestream was definitely the music and reliving memories.
— Amy Roberts (Year 12 Purple, Faith and Ministry prefect)
I loved the music, it took me back to actually being there and it was so nice to have that feeling again.
— Caitlyn Gervasoni (Year 12 White)
Father Rob Galea was my favourite. I got very emotional when he came on and spoke.
— Lexie Cilia (Year 12 Gold)
Definitely would have to agree that the music was AMAZING! I also loved the nostalgia it gave me.
— Moses Villani (Year 12 Orange)
I loved hearing the song I'm Coming Back. It really brought back some beautiful memories. Tara, Georgia and I were on a zoom call watching it and we all cried listening to it. It was very powerful.
— Adriana Hawkins (Year 12 Purple)
The final message of this session was to go out and not forget the experiences and memories we made in Perth, and to always remember to stay connected with each other. We, as a group, are consistently staying connected with one another through Formation sessions, posts on Google Classroom and always keeping each other in our prayers.
