In 2000, while a student at St. Mary's Seminary, Mulgrave, VIC, Fr Christian was asked to work with the youth of St. John Vianney's Parish, Springvale North.   He established a youth group which became known as 'Youth Coming Together'.   

At the end of the year, Fr Christian took a group of 12 young people from the parish away on a three day camp to Dromana, VIC.   The success of this camp was the catalyst for the subsequent camps, which have seen the inclusion of youth from all over Australia.
