Sheila is based at the Diocesan Offices in Redemption Road. She is from Clontead Parish and in recent years has worked with the Chaplaincy at UCC.
Youth Ministry is about supporting the outreach of families of parishes, colleges, and schools and “wherever two or three” young people gather, to bring the message of Christ to them in new ways.
Sheila is happy to work alongside those who are already involved in programmes for young people as well as helping those who wish to take first steps in this essential part of our mission.
Over 160 young Catholics gathered on the grounds of UCC on Sunday to CONNECT about faith and meet with other young people from the Diocese of Cork and Ross
Fr Columba Jordan CFR, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal and Ms Katie Ascough, Founder of ‘Called to More’, were the guest speakers at CONNECT 5 to speak on this year’s CONNECT theme which was “In a troubled world, Dare to Hope”.
This was the fifth in a series of meetings of young people which were initiated by Bishop Fintan Gavin, Bishop of Cork and Ross, to help young Catholics CONNECT with each other in a sociable and reflective atmosphere.
Speaking to the young people between 18 and 35 years, Fr Columba said “We don’t get hope by figuring out the problems of the world. We get hope from the Lord. Hope is based on what God has promised.”
