INTERFAITH YOUTH PILGRIMAGE - MELBOURNE 13 July 2008


The Ecumenical and Interfaith Commission of Melbourne organized the Interfaith Youth Pilgrimage on Sunday at Federation Square in Melbourne. The event was part of the Days in the Diocese program. There were many enthusiastic participants, including youth from Hindu, Buddhist, Bahai, Muslim, Jewish, other Christian, Indigenous, Brahma Kamari, Sathya Sai, and Sikh communities. The event was a commitment to unity, forgiveness, reconciliation and love for one another for the sake of peace on behalf of the youth of the different faiths.  Cardinal Rodriguez was excellent as the main speaker of the event. The pilgrims really got into the spirit of the thing and added joy and life to the event.
