The Diocese recently met with priests and post-primary school teachers to share plans for the Alpha Youth programme, an initiative designed to support young people on their journey of faith by bringing schools and parishes together in partnership.
Alpha Youth is an experience that gives young people a space to have meaningful conversations about life, faith, and purpose.
Two information sessions were held—one in Mardyke House and another in Clonakilty Parish Centre—to explore how Alpha Youth can serve as a tool to engage young people, particularly those of post-Confirmation age, helping them to connect more deeply with faith and parish life.
After completing Alpha Youth, the young people will be invited to continue to meet in their own faith communities with the support of the parish youth leaders.
