Welcome to Youth Ministry in the Archdiocese of Cashel & Emly!

Our Mission

Walking with youth and young adults on their faith journey and creating spaces to encounter Jesus.

Youth Ministry in the Archdiocese of Cashel & Emly aims to support young people as they grow in faith, confidence, and belonging within their parish and wider diocesan community.

We will work alongside parishes, schools, families, and youth leaders to create spaces where young people feel welcomed, encouraged, and supported in exploring their faith and their role in the Church today.

 

What We Do

Youth Ministry supports and coordinates a range of faith-based initiatives for young people across the diocese. Our focus is on:

  • Helping young people deepen their relationship with God
  • Supporting parishes and schools in youth faith development
  • Encouraging participation in diocesan and national youth programmes
  • Providing resources and guidance for those working with young people

Our approach is practical, inclusive, and rooted in listening to the needs of young people and those who accompany them.

 

Programmes and Activities

The diocese supports a number of youth-focused programmes and initiatives, including:

  • Pope John Paul II Awards
  • Parish and school based youth initiatives – Sacramental Preparation Retreats, Children’ Adoration, Altar serving
  • Diocesan gatherings, faith events, youth & young adult prayer groups, youth choirs
Each programme is designed to encourage participation, service, and personal faith development. Dedicated pages provide further details on how each programme works and how to get involved.

Resources

Over time, this section of the website will grow to include helpful resources such as:
  • Downloadable materials
  • Videos and audio content
  • Links to trusted youth faith initiatives
These resources are intended to support prayer, reflection, and youth engagement at parish and local level.
