Just like the Christians who had taken to the waterside to witness to the Gospel, the Somascan youth took to Coogee beach on Easter Monday morning in a long tradition of prayer and fellowship.
For the 12th year in a row, young adults from St Jerome’s Somascan youth group trekked across the white sand, praying to Our Lady with Rosary Beads in hand.
Setting off at 8.45am, the ten young adults and their Parish Priest Fr. Mathew Velliyamkandathil CRS finished up at a local cafe and relaxed over breakfast.
The Rosary is something of a stalwart activity for the group, being a regular practice at their weekly Wednesday night prayer meetings.
The group usually celebrate members’ birthdays and other significant occasions after the parish’s weekly 6pm youth Mass.
All young adults are welcome to join the prayer group or the youth Mass on Sundays at 6pm.
