ADYC are going to be launching the Pope John Paul II awards in six parishes in the Archdiocese of Armagh.  The parishes are:

•  St Peter’s Drogheda
• St patrick’s Dundalk
• Kilkerley
• Killeavy
• Armagh
• Cookstown

The purpose of these sessions are to inform Parish Priests, Parish Pastoral Councils and potential awards leaders about this faith development awards as been operating the island of Ireland.  The hopes of this evening is to make the parishes aware of the the opportunities of the faith development of the young people within their parishes.

Life as a Catholic today hold many challenges for Catholics today, in their peer groups and church community.  Building friendships with their peers like minded in their faith and playing an active role in their parish and community servers to strengthen the young people of our Church.  The Pope John Paul II Award is an excellent way to offer the structure for young people to do this.

ADYC hopes to training and develop local parishes to implement this award and to offer ongoing support.
