About Our Community

The Young Adults Group is a group of parishioners aged 18-35. It is formed with the belief that this age is a time for great questions and important decisions about life. It is a time to grow in the knowledge of faith and increase the ability to make moral decisions and give Christian witness. But it is also a time of great challenges when people can be misled by the society of consumerism, materialism, atheism and prestige which could drive them away from what they are called to be. The vision for the Young Adults is that the people aged 18-35 journey together as a small community that becomes active and visible in the parish. One aim of the group is for them to support each other in making a free and conscientious choice for the Gospel and for what they choose for themselves and for the society. Therefore, they organise activities that help them to grow in their spiritual life and in their experience of the Gospel. The other aim of the group is that people of this age feel comfortable and at home as members of the Church and become confident in their Christian belief being an inspiration for other young people. These two aims will be achieved by the following activities: monthly talks on spiritual development & Catholicism and weekly pub socials after the 6:30pm Mass on Sundays.
