“If you stay closely united, you are like a tree standing in the middle of a bush-fire sweeping through the timber. The leaves are scorched and the tough bark is scarred and burned; but inside the tree the sap is still flowing, and under the ground the roots are still strong. Like that tree you have endured the flames, and you still have the power to be reborn. The time for this rebirth is now!” Pope John Paul II |

Each youth has painted a leaf that depicts something
about their home, their faith and their hope for the future. These
symbolise the new life of the tree bursting from the charred trunk
and Indigenous Youth’s role in the Catholic Church in Australia
today. |
