Henley Beach

I grew up going to St John Bosco Church and moved to Henley Beach parish when I joined its Antioch group in 2015, and I was lucky enough to be a part of this youth movement for five years. It was through my involvement in Antioch that I started to become more involved in my parish community. I am now part of Henley Beach’s Frankly young adults group and participate in ministries including regularly helping with music at Mass. In recent years I joined the Henley Beach Parish Pastoral Council and have been involved in our parish’s Alpha program for adults, as well as helping to facilitate a youth course for our young people
