Parish Youth Group

Leader:  Fr. Pat Hughes C.C.   Phone: 045 438 036

Our Youth Group started with a conversation between two people in Lourdes, France. That conversation grew to three people and eventually it grew into our Youth Group.

The conversation involved talking about the way the youth have become disconnected from the Church, ways of bridging that gap and about how the youth see faith. This was the first youth meeting of this group.

The meetings grew in numbers and the youth of Newbridge started thinking about their faith, what they believe in and so on. Someone new turned up at the meetings every week, whether they went to Lourdes as helpers, to World Youth Day in Sydney or they just wanted to do something about their faith. They turn up, friendships are formed, and we enjoy the craic and working together.

The Newbridge Parish Youth Group meets every Thursday Night at 8 o’clock in the Holy Family Convent Newbridge. The Newbridge Parish Youth group, as a Catholic Youth Group, commits itself to the development of a fun medium for the youth of Newbridge to discuss their beliefs in the Catholic Faith. they also commit themselves to reach out to other members of the Parish Community as a whole. The Newbridge Parish Youth Group aims to work in an environment of co-operation and mutual respect.
