Unpacking and strengthening faith in Perth!

Join other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Youth Leaders in Perth from 1-5 October to hear inspirational speakers, meet new friends and build your faith and Spirituality!

 

The NATSICC Youth Assembly is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics aged 15-25 and will be a week where new friendships are formed and skills to become leaders and role models for your community are learned.

 

Youth will have the opportunity to join the main Assembly and share the experience with Elders from all over Australia as faith, culture and our relationship with Jesus are discussed.
