PARISH FAITH REPS
Nodlaig Lillis, our Youth & Young Adult ministry Officer in the Diocese, will be speaking at Masses across our churches in the coming weeks to discuss and encourage the role of Faith Reps which are being commissioned across parishes in our diocese.
Parish Faith Reps are volunteers at Parish level who feel called to walk with young people on their journey of faith in some way, trained and supported by the diocese for an initial commitment of two years which can be extended.
They are people who see the need to encourage and mentor young people in their faith are willing to do what they can, with the time and the gifts they have available to them.
Also they are part of the Diocesan Team for Youth and Young Adult Ministry at ground level, and where possible, lend a hand with diocesan level projects if they are free to do so.
Nodlaig will be speaking at the 7pm Mass in Touraneena and The 11am Sunday Mass in The Nire this weekend. She will be speaking in Ardfinnan and Newcastle / Fourmilewater Parishes in a few week’s time.
