If you wish to have your loved ones remembered please complete these cards with their details and place in basket provided. These basket will then be brought up and presented during the Mass itself. Pope Francis.......Evangelii Gaudium..... Youth Ministry, as traditionally organized, has also suffered the impact of social changes. Young people often fail to find responses to their concerns, needs, problems and hurts in the usual structures. As adults we find it hard to listen patiently to them, to appreciate their concerns and demands, and to speak to them in a language they can understand. For the same reason, our efforts in the field of education do not produce the results expected. The rise and growth of associations and movements made up of young people can be seen as the work of the Holy Spirit, who blazes new trails to meet their expectations and a search for a deep spirituality and a more real sense of belonging. There remains a need, however, to ensure that these associations actively participate in the Church’s overall pastoral methods....... "Being a Welcoming Church."
