Sandhurst priest Fr Rob Galea returned to Shepparton on Thursday, May 5, and Friday, May 6, to perform as part of the Ablaze Youth Festival.

Fr Rob and the FRG Ministry band performed to Catholic Education Sandhurst school students across the Goulburn Valley, including his former teaching post Notre Dame College, with St Luke’s Primary School and St Brendan’s Primary School on the list.

An audience of more than 1200 students split across two days — primary students, then secondary students the following day — enjoyed the full-scale rock concert.
