There are many opportunities for Youth Ministry at La Salle Academy, including:

CYSMI

RISE UP

This event allows students to further explore their Christian faith and relationship with Jesus amongst other like-minded young people.

Through music, reflection, discussion, presentations and games students will have the opportunity to connect with their peers from across the diocese whilst also participating in new and innovative ways of uniting with and worshipping God.

Mission Ambassador Program for Students

Year 7 students Jena Yanothan and Samuel Edwards volunteered to be part of this program. Jena and Samuel met with David McGovern from Catholic Mission as part of their formation. They spoke as ambassadors for Catholic Mission at our Parish Mass on the 22^nd and 23^rd of October.

Socktober

This activity is designed by Catholic Mission. Students in Years 7 and 8 will learn about the vulnerable children in Ethiopia who are facing malnutrition and food insecurity during Religious Education time. They then complete fun activities from the Mission Packs such as making a recycled soccer ball, and learning how children in Ethiopia live, learn, and play. The recycled soccer balls are being made to give our students a chance to identify with children in other parts of the world who only have homemade soccer balls to play with.
