Outreach to young people throughout the Diocese
"I appeal especially to the young people among you not to abandon the Church. Your Church lies in the future, the long future which will be there when my generation will have long since gone. The Church will not be reformed by abandoning the Church, the Church, but by living the Word.”
Archbishop Martin
The Pope John Paul II Awards were launched by Catholic Youth Care on 16th November for the Archdiocese of Dublin. The Awards are for young people aged 16-18. They provide for new approaches to ministry with young people connecting parishes and schools.
At present almost 100 young people have signed up to participate in the John Paul II Awards, representing eighteen parishes.
