Invitation to Days in the Dioceses
A message of welcome from the Archbishop of Melbourne
“The Archdiocese of Melbourne wishes to offer the warmest of welcomes and hospitality to all pilgrims travelling onward to Sydney. For those of you living in the Archdiocese, as chief pilgrim, I invite you to join me on the journey to World Youth Day 2008. World Youth Day is a gift to the Church of Australia. On your return, I encourage you to take the opportunity to share this gift and continue to be a witness to Christ. ”

Archbishop of Melbourne
An invitation to Days in the Dioceses
“I encourage you to participate in Melbourne Days in the Dioceses. Melbourne is a city that really ‘lives’ and it’s the same for the Catholic Church here. We have a long and rich Catholic tradition. Come to Melbourne and you will experience what it means to be part of a ‘living’ Church at first hand.
A dynamic Church that serves all, especially the poor. For those of us who live here, this is an exciting opportunity to welcome the youth of the world to our homes, parishes and schools.”
