Reading Vatican II - Young Adults 4 Month Intensive
20 Aug 2026
The Second Vatican Council of the Catholic Church occurred between 1962-1965 and within the last 100 years or more has certainly been the most influential Ecclesial Event to shape the Catholic Church.
Over four months young adults of South West Coast Parish are invited to read together the four main documents (Constitutions) of the Council. Two groups will be formed of between 6-8 people, one meeting on Wednesday night and the other Thursday both between 6pm – 8pm for a meal and conversation at St Pius.
It is important that participants make a sincere effort to be part of this intensive by reading the document in advance (or at least a fair chunk of it!)
The three questions which will be asked upon our reading of each document are:
1. What was one thing you found profound?
2. What was one thing you found interesting?
3. What was one thing you found odd?
If you are interested in taking part, please email Fr Matt Restall by 7 September as places are limited: matt.restall@ballarat.catholic.org.au
In your email, please include: Name, mobile number, age, food allergies and desired meeting night (Wednesday or Thursday)
