Dozens of young people join the Revolution
by Mark Currie
In July, more than 145 leaders and rangatahi gathered from all over the diocese at Woodend for the Catholic Youth Team’s Revolution Camp. “But who do you say that I am?”, was the question providing the theme of the camp. It is taken from the Gospels, which set the tone for a great weekend. Matt Clark is a seminarian for the Christchurch Diocese and is studying at Holy Cross, our national seminary in Auckland. He broke open the theme as he challenged campers to consider what their answer to that question might be. A highpoint of the weekend was the time of Adoration, combined with praise and worship on the Saturday night. Bishop Michael Gielen celebrated the final Mass on Sunday morning. Alongside the talks and liturgy, was the usual camp programme of small groups, team challenges and free time, which helped create what many are calling the best camp ever.
