26th September Youth Rally 2021 – St Rita’s Honiton 1.00 – 6.30pm.
We are pleased to announce that the infamous youth Rally will run as usual in Honiton. Parishes are encouraged to bring teams of 6 young people aged 8 – 16. A BBQ will be offered throughout the afternoon along with other snacks and drinks. Challenges include Tug or War, it’s a knockout, Gladiators. After Mass young people will be awarded certificates and medals for their achievements. To book please contact [email protected] or [email protected] 16th October Youth Workers Conference Venue: St Rita’s, Honiton 10.00 – 2.30 People are welcome to make a voluntary contribution on the day. I am inviting everyone across the diocese who either works with young people or would like to work with young people (this includes catechists) to join me at Honiton. Rise Theatre will be joining us to celebrate all the youth work and events (and what used to happen before COVID) across the diocese. I hope it is an opportunity for us to reflect on what is happening in our parishes and across the diocese, offering each other support and a chance to share our talents. My aim is to build a forum where we can continue to share ideas and experiences along with a chance to call upon each other for help when needed. Rise Theatre will offer a workshop for everyone, offering suggestions of activities that can used in the parish either as part of the catechesis programme or informal events. Lunch will be provided. For further information or to simply join the forum, please email Saskia Hogbin: [email protected] Young Catholic Adult Group: Ian Jackson is volunteering with Youth Events to set up a new group for young adult Catholics.
