Brother Matthew, from the Taizé community, will visit South Australia. He will meet with various groups, including Church Leaders. Other events, especially for School Chaplains, Youth Ministers and Young Adults are as below.
These gatherings offer an opportunity for prayer, to hear news of the Taizé Community and to share ideas about plans for celebrations in South Australia in February 2015 to mark the 75th Anniversary of the Taizé Community, and 100th anniversary of Brother Roger’s birth.  Brother Alois, the current Prior of the community, will be attending the events next year.
