Now more than ever we need your support as we are facing big financial challenges in the aftermath of COVID-19. A large part of our income, supporting our wider ministry comes from our residential work. Since March all of our residential work has been cancelled and will be limited until after Christmas. We are adapting our ministry to be able to offer support where it is needed the most and in ways it is possible to work directly with young people. If you would like to read more about this project: Quo Vadis look out for updates mid-August. We would love for you to partner with us in making our vital work possible, especially as we develop and deliver an urgent response to COVID-19 to support young people. There are lots of ways you can do that, please keep reading and do get in touch if you would like to find out more about our work and how you can help!
Pray
At the heart of all of our endeavours there must be a strong foundation of prayer, it is at the heart of our team work and community life. We invite you to make a commitment to regularly pray for our work in whatever form is natural to you. As Catholic's we believe in the power of prayer to really change hearts and situations. Jesus taught us to pray, in trust, for our daily needs we invite you to join us in praying for the fruitfulness of our ministry.
DonateIf you are in a position to help us financially through regular giving or with a one off donation you can do so through this page. In the short term your contribution will help us to deliver a Catholic mental health response to the pandemic, and bolster our ability to return to our work with young people through residential retreats, continue the support and development of parish youth ministry and school Chaplaincy. Your contribution will ensure young people continue to benefit from life changing opportunities for personal development, faith encounters and accompaniment.
