Dear friends,

+ 23rd World Youth Day, Sydney, Australia: Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 July 2008.

“The upcoming World Youth Day will be a new Pentecost”, said the Pope while asking the whole Church to participate, at least spiritually, if not physically.

"I invite the whole Church to share in this great pilgrimage of young people across the world. I am certain that from all the corners of the earth Catholics will be united with me, intensely invoking the Holy Spirit so that he will flood hearts with the inner light of love of God and of brothers”. “My thoughts already go to Australia where, God willing, I will travel next Saturday, July 12. In Sydney, in fact, in the southeast of the country.

+ Chinatown Summer Fair: July 20, 2008, 10am-8pm

This Neighborhood Festival features: a “Lion Dance” procession at 12:30 p.m which will be followed by Asian cultural entertainment and live music. We shall be present at this event with our stall. There will be “Guided-Tours” of our Church by myself at different times. Everybody is WELCOME
