While we may offer many opportunities within our parish and partnership communities, it is also important to enable young people to participate in diocesan and national activities where they meet a larger group of young people of their own age and receive a different and often life-changing experience.
The Source
The Source, organised by YMT, provides an event for young people from Year 9 and above. It takes place at St Mary’s Cathedral four times each year from 7.00pm – 8.30pm and includes prayer, worship, a guest speaker and a time to socialise and share food.
The dates for the academic year2018/19 are Wednesday 3rd October, 5th December, 6th February and 3rd April.
St Peter’s coordinates a bus for our partnership which leaves Cardinal Hume School at 6.20pm returning to Cardinal Hume at 8.50pm approx. All young people should be collected from the school grounds.
