A group of fifty young people will travel to Rome with Bishop Fintan at the end of July to join hundreds and thousands of other young people from around the world for the Jubilee of Youth pilgrimage
The group gathered in Mardyke House for the first of several preparation and formation sessions. There was a palpable sense of excitement and energy as they explored the difference between holiday and pilgrimage, and learned about the significance of a Jubilee year, which happens every 25 years.
The Jubilee of Youth offers our young people an opportunity for our young people to deepen their faith, meet the Pope and join with young people of faith from all over the world.
There is a small number of places still open - if you know a young person in your parish, please contact Sheila Kelleher at
