Supporting our young people for
World Youth Day - It would be my hope
that any young people from the parish
who wish to go to World Youth Day in
Madrid, August, 2011 can be financially
supported (to the tune of £1000 each!)
by the parish community.
I am inviting YOU to have a fundraising
event. My suggestions would be that
you could do whatever you liked - but
how about a tea party to which you
event friends and neighbours? If 100
parishioners had a tea party and
managed to raise £100 each, we'd be
able to send 10 young people from the
parish to this life-changing event. We
could have a Tea Party column in the
newsletter if you wanted to advertise
your event to the wider parish or - with
enough warning - you could book the
parish hall. Or would you prefer to have
a dinner party or some other event?
I would like to set this as a challenge to
the people of the parish. It would be
fantastic if we could all support our
amazing young people in this way.
One of the blessings of this parish is
the large number of young people who
are around. Let's see what we can do
for them ...
If you decide to do something, please
let me know (or even invite me - but
after Lent!) and we'll keep a list in the
parish office of the various events that
are going on..
Please think carefully about helping in
this way.
