PJP2 Award

The Pope John Paul II Award is a faith achievement award for young people between the ages of 16 and 18. It is non-competitive, inclusive, flexible and voluntary.

The Award enables participants to take an active part in the life of the Church, their community and society. It also enables young people to become more aware of the teaching and role of the Catholic Church in the world and to engage at a deeper level with Christ.

Parish GIFT

GIFT – Growing in Faith Together – is a fun, faith-based, programme, extending over a number of weeks, for young people between 12 and 16 years  (Years 8 to 11) following-on from Confirmation.

On leaving primary school many of our young people move to different schools and  GIFT  helps to keep them connected to one another, their parish and ultimately to God. It aims to give the young people opportunities to explore what it means to be a young Christian in today’s society and to support them as they continue their journey in faith together.
