True Survivor

19/9/2018

On 26th - 28th October 2018 comes a real adventure for young men aged 14-18. Explore what it means to be a man of God and learn real-life survival skills from Catholic outdoorsman Will Hince, founder of Beyond the Wild: including tracking, trapping, friction fire-lighting, shelter building, purifying water and navigating by the stars. Discover the tools we need for spiritual survival, with daily Mass, the Sacraments and prayer, while experiencing true brotherhood. See this video of Will in action, and get a sense of what it’s all about!

Overnight, the group will stay at The Stables (Kenelm Youth Trust’s hostel-style accommodation in the village of Alton). In the daytime, the group will head in to wilderness of the Churnet Valley! The cost of the weekend is £105pp but we are limited to just 15 places.

National Youth Sunday 2018 takes place on 25th November and it is a great opportunity to share with parishes across our diocese about the ways in which young people have experienced God in their lives and have been supported and encouraged by the work of The Kenelm Youth Trust.

On 25th - 27th January 2019, 16 - 30 year-olds are invited to engage in a mission project on their own doorstep!

Across the Diocese, each of our Development Workers is coordinating social outreach during a single weekend. We listened carefully to the voice of young people through our preparations for the Papal Synod and it is clear that young people want to make a difference and serve in their own communities.

Our prayers will join with those of the pilgrims and Pope Francis in Panama, because with a Mass celebrated at 7pm in St. Peter and Paul in Wolverhampton, followed by Panamanian cuisine!
