(Vatican Radio) Thousands of Australians have been taking part in the Australian
Catholic Youth Festival this weekend. The festival is the brainchild of the Australian
Catholic Bishops Conference and provides young people with opportunities to deepen
their relationship with Jesus, and encounter and celebrate the vitality of the Church
in their country. The three day event which runs from December 5th to
7th is taking place in Melbourne and has taken a scriptural verse as its
theme – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me’ Luke 4:18.” Chris Altieri spoke to Malcolm
Hart, Senior Youth Ministry Projects Officer for the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference
about the festival. Listen
