Melbourne Mission | A Young Adult's Easter Experience at St Benedict's

Fr Cam Smith MGL confirming a candidate at the Easter Vigil Mass

St Benedict’s Melbourne had a busy Easter with a number of baptisms and confirmations. One young adult, Blaine, says, “The 2025 Easter Triduum was an experience to remember. From the beautifully done Masses, to the community’s activity and heart for Holy Week, God so clearly was touching hearts during that week. I’ve never loved the Eucharist as much as I had learned to during those three days (Maundy Thursday - Easter Vigil). It really was an encounter for me, and even more importantly, my family. I got to see my family praising and worshipping for the first time. They were playing the recording of the vigil to relatives with a passion they’ve never shown towards Christ or Mass.

My experience of Easter this year changed something in my heart, but even greater than that, I got to witness it do the same to my relatives. Thank you God!
