These activities are generally of interest to those teenagers in year

St. Joseph’s Youth Council
This is an association for the youth of St.Joseph’s. The aim is to give young people that extra sense of belonging within the Parish and having a particular place in the Parish. The Youth Council aims to invite young people of the Parish to gather as friends and brothers and sisters in Christ through the monthly Youth Masses and to offer the opportunity for young people to participate in the Mass through reading, the offertory, the choir, altar serving, giving out hymn books and participating in activities in the Parish Hall after Mass. The age of joining is year 9. There will also be social gatherings i.e bowling,
cinema and picnics. The Council will meet monthly to discuss, plan and
put into action what is decided. Please give your name to Shaun Bailham or
James Hay (sbailham@btinternet.com).
