Sydney, Australia, Sep 2, 2009 / 02:41 am
The international Catholic youth congress “Convivio” will meet this weekend in Sydney, Australia to help students come together to reflect on contemporary issues, share their experiences and propose explanations and answers to the challenges they face daily.
The theme for the congress is from Mark 8, “Who do you say that I am?”
Convivio Sydney organizers told CNA that the topics are “firmly grounded” in the faith of the Church and the reflections are guided in a way that presents Christ as the “essential answer” for the young participants, who are in their final three years of secondary education.
“Convivio will offer students an opportunity for a deep encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ and from this authentic encounter they can give deep and meaningful answers to their own questions and many others who are in need of the same answers,” Convivio Sydney said.
