Welcome to Project Linkup

Project Linkup is designed to publicise the model of adult initiation developed in St. Thomas More's Catholic Parish, Belgrave, Victoria, Australia.   

Our story and the stories of some of the people who have been brought into the Catholic Church through our program of initiation are captured in more detail in About Us and The Belgrave Story.  

Current news, articles and resources for those interested in Project Linkup are updated regularly.  Please feel free to contact us - we welcome all your feedback and comments.  

We hope you enjoy your visit.
