Feel the Life in Youth
Mission
Feel the life in youth, or FLY, is one of the youth groups as part of the Western Sydney Chinese Catholic community (WSCCC). Combined with youth from Asiana centre in Ashfield and St. Dominic’s in Flemington, FLY is a fun and interactive space for young Catholic people to gather and learn more about their faith. FLY at Flemington church runs fortnightly English mass on the second and fourth Sunday of each month, beginning at 11am in the hall. This gives an opportunity for all youth who are less fluent in Mandarin to understand and engage in mass. The masses are run by the leaders of FLY with the help of young people to take part in readings, singing and sharing their thoughts. This allows for more inclusive masses, through expanding the capacity of FLY leaders to reach young people to better build their connection with Jesus. Commonly after English mass, the leaders hold sessions of games and have bible study, specifically catered for year 7 and above students. These sessions allow the youth to build closer friendships with each other and to deepen their understanding of the bible. FLY also organises activities and events for the group to build closer friendships. Every year, FLY performs at the Church Christmas party at Flemington, entertaining the community with lively performances. For example, in 2016, the girls performed a festive stick dance to “We Three Kings” and in previous years, FLY brilliantly acted the story of the Nativity. FLY also holds picnics at the local park, where we play sports, games and hold bible study sessions. So, are you interested in coming along to see what FLY is all about? We are a warm and welcoming bunch of students who would love to see you at our next mass, FLY session or group activity! |
小组的使命
感受青春的生活,FLY(feel the life in youth)小组是一个属于西区雪梨华人天主教的青年组,结合了来自Ashfield亚洲中心和Flemington圣道明教堂的青年。FLY是一个又有趣又互动,聚集天主教青年教友并使他们学习信仰的平台。 FLY在Flemimgton教堂会有每两周一次的英文弥撒,分别是每 个月的第二、第四周,上午11点在会堂里开始。这会为普通话 不流利的青年提供一个理解并参与弥撒的机会。弥撒会由组长 们带领,还有一些年轻人帮助读经,圣咏并且分享他们的想法,使弥撒变得更加有包容性,通过提高组长们的能力,可以更好 的让青年们建立和耶稣之间的联系。通常在弥撒之后组长们会 主持一些小游戏和圣经学习的会议,尤其照顾7年级以上的学生。这些会议会让青年们彼此建立更加亲近的关系,加深他们 对于圣经的理解。 FLY 为了在组里建立更亲近的友情,也会组织一些活动。每一 年FLY都会在圣诞晚会上表演节目,经常提高晚会的热闹气氛。例如在2016年,女孩们表演了名为“三王来朝”的节日棒舞表演,而且在过去的几年,FLY精彩的导演了耶稣圣诞的故事。FLY 也在当地的公园举办过野餐,并且在公园也有运动,游戏和圣 经学习。 所以,你有兴趣来了解下FLY青年组吗?我们是一群热情又好 客的学生们,很希望可以在下次的弥撒、讨论和活动中看到你! |
