‘Time with God’ a hit

THE opportunity for young people to gather in the heart of Brisbane this year to spend time with God has been deemed a success.

Brisbane archdiocese’s vocations promotions officer Mark Lysaght said the Leaven Hour was an opportunity for youth and young adults to experience growth and energy through the power of Mass and adoration.

“I think the response was very positive and the inclusion of different youth entities from around the archdiocese was good, and we will look to continue those relationships next year,” Mr Lysaght said.

Launched in March, the Leaven Hour is sponsored by a number of youth movements in the archdiocese, including Emmanuel Youth Outreach, NET Ministries, LifeTeen, North East Deanery Youth Ministry and Men Alive.

The Leaven Hour was held in St Stephen’s Chapel, next to the cathedral, on the fourth Friday of the month from March to November.

Beginning with the 5.10pm Mass, young people were led into a time of prayer and reflection around eucharistic adoration, which included song, spoken prayers and times of silence.

Following the event, the group headed to a nearby coffee shop for a cuppa and bite to eat.

“I think when we started out and as things progressed we were looking at about 60-70 young people attending Leaven Hour and 20-30 at the Coffee Club afterwards,” he said.

“It was a good chance to meet others from around the archdiocese.

“One of the successes was the development of a community among young adults.

“I think one of the things that was highlighted was that young people really enjoyed the opportunity to take time out in a world that is full of distractions.

“It was a time to spend with God and be led in reflection.”

Mr Lysaght said Archbishop John Bathersby would launch the Leaven Hour for 2007 on February 23 at St Stephen’s Chapel.
