CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE(St. Joseph’s)
As you may have realised from this bulletin we are looking to start an initiative in St. Joseph’s focused on children and young people. After much discussion we decided to call it “St. Joseph’s Youth Club”! It is hoped that our club will, in the first instance, be run for 10 -12 year olds. Our goal is to create a place where our young people feel welcome and valued as part of our parish community. If you can help please speak to Fr. McKenzie.
We need to begin the process of building up resources by having a couple of fundraising activities, the first of which is detailed below. Please support us by coming along.
