Last week, Year 10 students met and heard the testimony of international speaker John Pridmore who was leading a parish mission in one of our local parishes.

After an invitation to prayer, John spoke about how he became involved in serious organised crime as a young man before turning his back on a life of violence and dedicating his life to God. 

Students were fascinated by his story which is powerful and inspiring as he shared stories of his experiences with St. Mother Teresa.

For the past 30 years, John has travelled the world sharing his testimony with thousands of people and he shares his story in detail in his book "From Gangland to Promised Land".
