Palm Sunday Walk

World Youth Day St Agnes Rooty Hill

In 1985, Pope John Paul II established World Youth Day – an annual diocesan youth event to be celebrated each Palm Sunday.

The procession traveled down Church Street, Parramatta to St Patrick’s Cathedral where everyone gathered for Palm Sunday Mass

On Sunday 20 March 2016 representatives from all the Diocesan High Schools met at Parramatta Town Hall to participate in the Palm Sunday Procession. Miles Ponce and Josephine Zammit represented St Agnes and carried our school banner with pride.

Following the Mass all schools present came together for a World Youth Day gathering where the St Agnes World Youth Day representatives were present for this event.

The pilgrims from St Agnes are Miss Nikki Valleri, Mr Harry Sadsad and Martin Mangahas of Year 10.

Over the coming months the pilgrims will participate in WYD formation sessions, in preparation for WYD in Krakow, Poland in August.
