The Youth Ministry aims to encourage the youth of our parish to knows God’s word, develop a relationship with Christ and become active in the Church community. It is necessary to invest in today’s youth, as they are the future of our Parish and by investing in them now, we prepare them to serve God in all that they do.
We wish to create a safe space for our youth to not only socialise and make friends, but to discuss their faith without fear or judgement. We would also like to bridge the gap between all adult youth by opening up the Devereux club to everyone aged 18-35, to allow for mentorship and support as our young adults transition into their adult life.
Therefore, the new group ages will be:
- Children: Year 3 – Year 6
- Pre-adolescents: Year 7 – Year 9
- Adolescents: Year 10 – Year 13 (Sixth Form).
- Young Adults: Devereux Club – age 18-35
