Centacare Catholic Family Services is an organisation that works on behalf of the Archdiocese in Melbourne to fulfil the Church’s mission of service to the community. We provide programs and services that help families and individuals in the development of strong and healthy relationships, and encourage connectedness within their communities. Inspired by our vision of ‘life to the full’ for families and individuals in all their diversity, we are especially concerned with offering services that ensure improved opportunities for those experiencing disadvantage and hardship in order for them to achieve enhanced living conditions, and a better future for their children.

In July I had the wonderful fortune to be in Sydney for part of the World Youth Day events. The good will and feeling in the city was infectious with literally hundreds of thousands of young people from all over the world gathered and walking the streets. As young people they embodied a sense of hope and idealism for the future. At fun they were loud, vibrant and active. At prayer they were participative and reflective. At all times they seemed respectful of others and there was a sense of security and safety on the streets.
