Your Grace, Bishop Bernard O’Grady; Fr Peter Hoang, Monash University Catholic Chaplain; Students and staff of Monash University; and Visitors to our University. As Vice-Chancellor, it is my pleasure to welcome the World Youth Day Cross and Icon to Monash University. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to the visitors to Monash, and in particular, the volunteers involved in the pilgrimage as the Cross makes its way to the 12th World Youth Day, which will be held in Sydney in July.
