Fed Square to Screen World Youth Day Opening Mass
Fed Square will become a centre of World Youth Day activities in Melbourne next Tuesday
when SBS broadcasts the Opening Mass from Sydney live to the big screen.
Jane Sydenham-Clarke from Fed Square said the live broadcast of the event will provide a major
community focus directly linked into the World Youth Day celebrations.
“World Youth Day is a significant event for the Catholic community and Fed Square is pleased to
be able to facilitate participation for those unable to travel to Sydney, through a blessing with
Father Terry Kean and the live screening of the Opening Mass in Sydney.”
Students from St. Columbas Primary School, Elwood and Holy Trinity, Eltham North will take
part in a special service and blessing, presided over by Father Terry Kean, at 12.00 noon in the
Square prior to the live broadcast.
Ms Sydenham-Clarke said, “Fed Square’s Big Screen will provide a larger than life experience for
those attending the event in Melbourne accessible to many visitors and city workers on their way
home.”
