(It's on the 4th Sunday of each month) We now have a Youth Band, made up of teenagers and young adults from our parish, who lead us in song at each Youth Mass. We're also introducing some new, upbeat hymns at each Youth Mass. After each Youth Mass, teenagers, young adults and those young at heart are invited to gather at the front of the Church for a bite to eat, a drink and some time to catch up. Next Youth Mass is Sunday 26th July at 6.00pm. See you there!
