Fr Matthew recently returned home with the QLD St Vincent de Paul Young Adults Pilgrimage group from World Youth Day 2023. The pilgrimage included time in Paris exploring, praying and reflecting on the origins of the St Vincent de Paul Society. This was followed by an international gathering of Vincentians in Felgueiras Portugal, before World Youth Day Week celebrations in Lisbon. The group concluded the pilgrimage with a retreat in Fatima.
"There were so many highlights and special moments. Two of my most cherished memories are the Eucharist we celebrated together in the crypt of Sacre Cuore in Paris and the candlelight rosary and procession in Fatima. Being with these young adults, sharing their aspirations, motivations and hope for social action that arises out of our shared faith story was inspiring and renewing." - Fr Matthew.
