Welcome to St Colmcille’s Parishes Young Peoples Newsletter
This is a first step for St Colmcille’s Parishes ( Holywood and Ballyhackamore ) in communicating
to you what is happening for young people in each parish.
Inside you will hear from a young person from St Colmcille’s, Holywood who completed an amazing
volunteering project in South Africa in April. You’ll also hear about what activities happened
for young people during the summer and some details about what’s coming up in the new term.
This newsletter is a recognition and celebration of the involvement of young people in our Church.
The challenge lies in linking young people and the Church, and then maintaining and strengthening
those links. This is necessary if we are to develop a strong Church community.
Through this newsletter we aim to raise awareness about initiatives that encourage and support
the involvement of young people in their faith, whether the initiatives are organised by the
parishes, schools or diocesan initiatives.
