In 1985, Pope John Paul II established World Youth Day – an annual diocesan youth event to be celebrated each Palm Sunday.
The procession traveled down Church Street, Parramatta to St Patrick’s Cathedral where everyone gathered for Palm Sunday Mass
On Sunday 20 March 2016 representatives from all the Diocesan High Schools met at Parramatta Town Hall to participate in the Palm Sunday Procession. Miles Ponce and Josephine Zammit represented St Agnes and carried our school banner with pride.
Following the Mass all schools present came together for a World Youth Day gathering where the St Agnes World Youth Day representatives were present for this event.
The pilgrims from St Agnes are Miss Nikki Valleri, Mr Harry Sadsad and Martin Mangahas of Year 10.
Over the coming months the pilgrims will participate in WYD formation sessions, in preparation for WYD in Krakow, Poland in August.

He is Risen! ✝️ As our St Agnes CHS community enjoys a well-deserved break, we pause this Easter Sunday to reflect on the joy and hope of Christ’s resurrection. Easter reminds us of new beginnings, renewal, and the power of faith, even in times of rest and stillness. May this holiday be filled with peace, love, and time to reconnect with family and what matters most. Wishing all our students, families, and staff a blessed and joyful Easter. He is risen, alleluia!

On Good Friday, we remember Christ’s love shown through sacrifice. A love that calls us to stand with those who suffer, and to act with compassion and justice for all. As we reflect today, may we continue to walk together towards a more just world.

Today we remember Holy Thursday, the night of the Last Supper and the beginning of Jesus’ journey to the cross. We recall the gift of the Eucharist, where Jesus shared bread and wine and called us to love and serve one another. Jesus then went to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. In deep anguish, He turned to the Father, surrendering to His will as His hour drew near, fulfilling the Scriptures. May we take time today to pause, pray, and stay close to Him. 🙏✨
