ACOUSTIC GARDEN

In this Year of Prayer to prepare for the jubilee of our universal church starting this December with the theme: Pilgrims of Hope, we invite you to leave a prayer request at our prayer wall. You can also visit our stall for fun games, and information on our 2025 courses and pathway program for a theological degree. The Centre for Faith Enrichment is the official adult faith education agency of the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth. The centre offers daytime, evening and weekend courses on a wide range of topics at various locations throughout Perth and online. Topics include, but are not limited to, Theology, Scripture, Church history, the Sacraments, the lives of the Saints, Christian Anthropology, and more.  

Take a moment to reflect and pray in the Schoenstatt Prayer Chapel in the Acoustic Garden (to the left of the stage)! Write your prayer intentions and offerings and place them onto the prayer wall. All prayer notes will be brought to the Schoenstatt Shrine afterwards to be burnt, a place of pilgrimage to the Mother of God, and for the 2025 Jubilee Year.
The Schoenstatt Movement WA does not only have adult branches, such as families, mothers, sisters and priests, but also male and female youth the world over. Over 200 Schoenstatt Shrines, such as the Shrine in Perth, all over the world are the spiritual centres of the Movement which is both Marian and apostolic. We foster community life, personal development through self-education, openness to the Church, and involvement in Christian action.
The Women’s Faith Club for professional women and tertiary students, as well as Schoenstatt Girls and Young Women (SGYW) are led by women and girls, and assisted by the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary and adult volunteers. (For more information, see www.schoenstattwa.org.au ; www.schoenstatt.com; www.s-ms.org) Visit the Schoenstatt Prayer Chapel to receive prayer leaflets, and information on forthcoming retreats, the oversees Schoenstatt Mission program for young women, as well as the Schoenstatt Shrine Perth Opening and Mass times. 

At the Centre for Life, Marriage & Family, we strive to strengthen the fabric of society by strengthening marriage and family, and building a Culture of Life. We believe in the innate dignity of the human person – a core teaching of the Catholic Church; every person is born with God-given dignity, and nothing can change or remove that from us. 

The College aims to form adults, young and old, to be missionary in their whole being – in their actions and words – so that by the end of the year’s experience they can form others to evangelise, while continuing to pursue their professional, academic and family life. Those who feel called to youth ministry often go on to lead youth groups and work on school retreat teams. Regardless of where they go, the time spent at Acts2CoME builds strong, lasting relationships that support our graduates in the years to come.

A “new people born of the Gospel”, as Chiara Lubich, its founder, defined it. It is a movement of spiritual and social renewal, founded in Trent, Italy, in 1943, during the Second World War. It wants to bring the message of unity to the world. To achieve this goal, people of the Movement engage in various forms of dialogue and are committed to building bridges of fraternal relationships among individuals, between cultural groups and in every area of society
