National youth sunday

National Youth Sunday is marked on the Solemnity of Christ the King, which, this year, is on Sunday 24th November. The church invites young people to be at the heart of its celebrations during this weekend. The theme for National Youth Sunday 2019 is ‘Significance’ based on “For him you have worth; you are not insignificant. You are important to him, for you are the work of his hands” (Christus Vivit, 115)

​We are asking parishes to please invite a young volunteer to speak at the Masses over this weekend about the youth service, our work and their own experiences. We have prepared a pro forma to support them in their transcript available from the website
During the NYS weekend, the second collection goes to support the work of the Diocesan Youth Service (Kenelm Youth Trust). We have produced a full colour leaflet to share the work of KYT with parishioners . These will be disseminated at the November Deanery Meeting. We ask your support in making them available in the parish over this weekend.
