Carrying the Cross







We went to Mass yesterday, a Mass held at St Agatha's for the handing over of the WD Cross and Icon to our Diocese .
Jonathon and four other Youth Leaders from our parish CorYouth Group helped to carry the cross and accompanied it on the ferry to Parramatta Wharf.

Alexander will help carry the cross during the procession into Mass at another local church on Tuesday, as a representative of youth from our parish.

We all had a chance to venerate the cross.

And to reflect on the cross. One never knows what one's cross will be. Or where it may take you.

Maybe even to Parramatta!
