CONTRIBUTORS TO THE CATHOLIC YOUTH DIARY INCLUDE:

"The Catholic Youth Diary is a great way to bring the Good News of Christ into the everyday
lives of our students.
The weekly Gospel, reflection and prayer are an invaluable resource to place in front of our students.
Working with John Garrett Publishing meant that the changeover from our old diary to this one was a smooth process. I thoroughly recommend it."

- Steve O’Connor, De La Salle College, Caringbah, NSW

"We are most grateful to the people at John Garratt for their proficiency in adapting the diary to
suit the needs of our College. Not only is it used on a daily basis in a practical sense, the scripture forms the basis for our weekly "College Prayer Examen". The people in design were were unbelieveably professional and efficient. We were most pleased with the outcome and look forward our ongoing association with John Garratt".

- Sharon Quinn, Assistant to the Principal - Religious Education, Xavier Catholic College, Hervey Bay

"Our Catholic Schools endeavour to build a bridge between faith and the reality of everyday life.
A secondary student diary is precisely about the everyday life of young people at school; and the Catholic Youth Diary is a splendid way of weaving the strands of Scripture, Liturgy, Eucharist and personal reflection into the everyday.

"The CYD does this though, in a way that preserves the unique identity of each school and yet at the same time offers the riches of the wider Church and its living tradition. It serves as useful and practical tool in the task of bringing the Good News into the lives of our young people".

- Fr Tony Chiera, Diocese of Bunbury

"We love the fact that our school has a diary that has an essence of catholicity included in it.
The inclusion of weekly Gospel readings, reflection and prayer provides a great focus for our students
and staff".

- Richard Horgan, Deputy Principal, St Joseph's‚ Port Lincoln

"The diaries look fantastic! Thanks for your efficient processing of our order. I have received some very positive feedback from students and staff".

- Chris Telford, Principal, Frayne College, Baranduda

"I congratulate John Garratt Publishing on the production of the Catholic Youth Diary. I know from my experience of the importance of diaries for young people in our schools. It is a great asset to have one that is so thoroughly Catholic. So I recommend this production to Catholic education authorities, school leaders and the pupils. I hope that the diary will be a great influence in Catholic Schools in Australia".

- Most Reverend Philip Wilson DD JCL, Archbishop of Adelaide
