There was a headline in the New York Times on the 7th of March 2022 which read “The Nun Reshaping the Role of Women Inside the Vatican”. The article was about Sr Natalie Becquart, the first woman in history to have the right to vote in the Catholic synod. She’s the undersecretary of the synod of bishops in Rome, appointed by Pope Francis, and she was in Adelaide recently for only one day to give a lecture on “Synodality as Mission” as part of a whirlwind Australian tour.To watch Sr Nathalie's lecture from that evening, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_VQc-7hu04To listen to the Catholic Youth Podcast (great how-to guide on everything from putting on Catholic events, to spiritual practices in schools, to how to create a sacred space and heaps more), you can check that out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/020oiOwBT7D40veelO7wc3To listen to the Arch D Radio Podcast (the stories of people involved in Catholic youth ministry, how their journey started, highlights, challenges and authentic moments of encounter), click here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1JgG7oEbIJ9k0bldEblhbp

In episode number 3 we hear from Amanda Razon, former Family Faith Formation Advisor for Catholic Education and current Assistant Principal in Religious Identity and Mission (APRIM) at St John the Baptist Catholic School to talk about spiritual practices in schools. In this episode you’ll learn about: What are the main spiritual practices generally found in Catholic schools including,-Prayer -Liturgy-Mass Why they are considered important and are practiced in schools,How to practice them in meaningful ways, and top practical tips to keep in mind when leading or taking part in these spiritual practices. Quotes:What makes this school different from other schools. A Catholic School is centred in God and God has provided us with all of these things and we want to enrich the students with their learning but also, we want them to be enriched and know that they are loved by God and flourish because they are known and loved by God. Prayer is intentionally inviting God into that space and being with God. How do you develop any relationship with anyone unless you spend time with them? So that is why prayer is important. I can’t be your friend if I just simply know you and that is it, but I have to know more about you by spending time with you. Prayer is that avenue to know God better. Check in with yourself and know what is in your heart at that time, that can lead to a more genuine prayer. At the heart of it, you want prayer to be genuine and intentional and heartfelt, not just actions or words for the sake of doing it. Liturgy is an extended, more formal way of praying. A public form of worship. Know that each person is on their own journey, that you are so welcome to add your flavour and there is no hard and fast rule of doing things but remember the heart of it.
In episode number 2, how to create a sacred space, we hear from Alison Gore, Senior Education Advisor, at Catholic Education SA to talk about sacred spaces. In this episode you’ll learn about: What is a sacred space, Why we often have sacred spaces when we gather, How incorporating a sacred space can elevate our gatherings, and How to create a sacred space by following a series of steps and practical tips. Steps for creating a sacred space: 1.Bring it to prayer. Before you start creating your sacred space, take a moment to pray and ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Remember you’re creating a space of welcome, where people can connect and deepen their relationship with God. 2.Think of the purpose. Along with the purpose of gathering a group and deepening their experience of God through prayer, think about the overarching purpose of gathering the group to draw inspiration for your sacred space. Is it for a retreat, school group or another special occasion? For example, for a school group you could use the school colours for your colour scheme. For the season of creation, you can draw inspiration from nature etc. Consider what you can incorporate to help connect the group.3.The Church’s liturgical calendar is your friend! You can use the Church’s liturgical calendar for inspiration for your colour scheme, symbolism, imagery, and scripture when creating your sacred space. 4.Play with levels. Levels give depth and add to the sacred space. Use boxes, a chair or something else and drape fabric over them to create levels. 5.Less is more. Having too many things to look at can be a distraction so simplify the process and use less items in your sacred space. Use the design principle of having odd numbers to create a beautiful and memorable space. Other Practical tips and tricks: •Get creative. You can get creative when creating your sacred space by using artwork or images that are evocative, incorporating nature, indigenous religious symbolism, making the space interactive or by adding different quotes from scripture or other relevant texts. •Use what’s around you. Get creative and use what’s around you to incorporate into your sacred space, that could be a spare box or chair to create levels, flowers or leaves from the garden or those fairy lights that otherwise only come out for Christmas. •The image or object representing God should be at the highest point of the sacred space. If you’re using an image or object to represent God, it should be at the highest point of your space. This could be a cross, crucifix or even a bible or lit candle. •Odd numbers. Things arranged in odd numbers are more appealing, memorable, and effective than even-numbered groupings.•Make sure there’s something to look at from all angles of the sacred space, especially if you’re positioning the group in a circular shape around the space. •Have an appreciation of beauty and aesthetics but don’t shy away from the element of truth in regards to your theme. •Borrow, buy second-hand or on sale. It shouldn’t cost the world to set up a sacred space. See if you can borrow the items from someone or buy them for a bargain at an op-shop or on sale at stores such as spotlight or kmart. •Fabric. When using fabrics, make sure that they’re clean and ironed. If the fabric is crinkled you could also try to make that a feature. Fabric of choice: Panne Velvet. The fabric Alison recommends that has great texture, doesn’t need to be ironed and doesn’t cost a lot. •How to get rid of candle wax stains. Put the stained fabric in the freezer for a few hours which will let you easily chip off any wax stains. You can then cover the area with paper towel and gently iron over the stained area to remove any remaining marks.
A podcast that will encourage and inspire you in engaging with young people in Catholic youth ministry. In episode number 1, Youth Ministry – what is it and why do we do it, we hear from Julian Nguyen, Coordinator of the Catholic Office for Youth and Young Adults in the Archdiocese of Adelaide to find out all about youth ministry. You’ll learn about: What is youth ministry, Why does the Church have youth ministry, Why work in youth ministry, and What are the characteristics of a youth minister. Quotes: “Youth ministry is being able to open doors for young people and help them go through their spiritual and faith journey. It is the spiritual and faith journey for a person, including faith, community, and the whole person; their values and beliefs.” “Youth ministry is the start of that journey. Youth is just a period of time in your life but a lot of those things that you form during that time, will then continue on into other parts of life.” “Without youth ministry there isn’t anyone to guide the next generation forward.” “If I can play one small part in helping someone else on their faith journey then that is great, that’s life giving.”
The young Catholics of Adelaide gather to discuss the issues facing the church that matter the most to them, and James catches up with Archbishop Pat, Sarah Moffatt & Peter Bierer to reflect on the Diocesan Assembly & Plenary Council journey in 2021.
