The Youth Ministry Special Collection will be taken up this weekend (November 8th and 9th) in all parishes across the diocese.

It is important for us to support and encourage our young people in every way we can and encourage them to take part in their local Parish. This collection directly supports the work of Sheila Kelleher, our Diocesan Youth Ministry Coordinator, and the many volunteers dedicated to nurturing faith among our youth.

Over the past year, new initiatives have taken root, including Altar Server Workshops, Alpha Youth (fostering collaboration between schools and parishes), Maranatha (a faith-based high-energy music event for Post-Primary school students), the continuation of the Sycamore & Foundations in Theology programmes, Lourdes pilgrimage, the Jubilee of Youth and Connect (for young adults).

 Please be as generous as you can as we cannot do this without your support. Investing in our young people is vital for the future of the Church.

Watch the video below to see what’s happening in youth ministry across our diocese!
