In early January 2024, young adults from across our Diocese gathered at Tahlee on Nelson Bay to take time out before the busyness of the year took over. For ARISE 2024, the group was blessed to be accompanied by Fr Diep Nguyen. Fr Diep spent time with each of the attendees and enabled moments of encounter with Jesus through Mass, Reconciliation and of course Scripture and prayer. ARISE is not a rushed or fast event, it’s a chance to slow down and be together as well as with God. Time was spent at the beach, in the water, cooking, playing board games and just having fun. The group may have even JUST lost out on winning the local Thursday Trivia! 

ARISE is taking Expressions of Interest now for the next time together with each other and God. If you are interested, please register via this link or contact Deacon Josh.
