Parish ambassadors prepare for Eucharist28

More than 60 parish ambassadors from the Archdiocese of Sydney gathered at St Martha’s in Leichhardt on 15 September to prepare for the International Eucharistic Congress, Eucharist28. Organized by the Parish Renewal Team within the Sydney Centre for Evangelisation (SCE), the meeting was the fourth gathering for parish leaders this year.

The gatherings provide training, resources, and formation to help ambassadors build a culture of Eucharistic revival in their local parishes. SCE Director Daniel Ang said the role of these ambassadors is central to the archdiocese's preparations, noting that laypeople and priests are responsible for bringing this revival to their communities through learning.

Ambassadors included Patrick Bouchahine from St Michael’s, Belfield, who noted growth in his community and interest in RCIA lessons. Simon Lavaesa and Gina Fattal, both from All Saints parish in Liverpool, also attended the meeting.
