Volume 19, Issue 11-12

On behalf of the Victorian Government, I would like to welcome you to Days in the Dioceses!

Victoria is one of the most culturally diverse and harmonious societies in the world and is the ideal host for this very special celebration, which will be enjoyed by thousands of young people from all over Victoria and across the world. You will have the opportunity to celebrate your faith and spirituality, and explore and experience different cultures, while enjoying everything Victoria has to offer.

With Days in the Dioceses featuring various events across this great state, you will have the opportunity to experience the hospitality of people from Melbourne and rural and regional Victoria while you take part in this unique international event.

Melbourne will offer all visitors a dynamic and culturally diverse experience, warmly supported by the one million Catholics residing in the Archdiocese.

The Brumby Government is very proud to have contributed $4 million to support Days in the Dioceses in Victoria, an event that would not be taking place without incredible generosity and good will from the community and sponsors. 

I have no doubt you will enjoy a memorable and uplifting experience at Victoria’s Days in the Dioceses 2008.

James Merlino MP
Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth Affairs
