Four years after independence and freedom, Timor Leste is one the worlds least developed nations. With the battle of independence won, this impoverished country is looking towards rebuilding itself after generations of horror. Through the auspices of Yooralla Youth Ministries members of the congregation have travelled to Seurtulan, a village in the centre of East Timor Island, and assisted with a village building program. Yoorallas goal for this village is to build 37 homes, a medical clinic and a community hall. Proceeds from the parishs recycling program also go to support this project.
The Parish prayerfully supports:
David, Tabatha and young Monty will soon leave for China to be involved in a development and caring ministry.
Bruce works part time as the NT Diocese Youth Minister and part time at St Peters, Nightcliff in Darwin, encouraging, supporting, and building up youth ministries and their leaders.
