YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS
DARRA JINDALEE YOUTH AND YOUTH ADULT MINISTRY
Darra-Jindalee Youth and Young Adults is an inclusive and welcoming Ministry within the Darra-Jindalee Catholic Parish. With the strong support of our Administrator and faith Community, we have been blessed with the invaluable gifts of past Youth Ministers and members who have been instrumental in laying the foundations of empowering young people to live Christ centred lives.
Youth Ministry sessions are held weekly during a school term over four terms throughout the school year, catering for year seven students to year twelve students. Moreover, Young Adult Ministry sessions are held twice in a school term over a four term period throughout the school year.
The operation of a Youth Session would follow on from the evening 5:30pm Mass then begin with fellowship by sharing a Community meal provided by families then lead into opening prayer, praise and worship, catechesis, small group reflections ending with games that are connected to the teachings.
Our Mission this year is focused on the call to discipleship by accepting God’s invitation of love to us through Jesus and responding by accepting God’s will for us.
We would love for you to connect and be a part of our faith family! Check us out on Instagram and Facebook to keep updated with the weekly happs or contact Luisa Laughren 0432 330 509 | ym.darjin@bne.catholic.net.au to find out more about our youth family.
FOUND INTERGENERATIONAL RETREAT
On Friday 13 September – Sunday 15 September we will be holding our fourth Intergenerational Youth Led Retreat where we will have ministry leaders supporting us in facilitating this retreat experience at Tunnel Ridge Ranch, Sunshine Coast.
The theme of this year’s retreat is focused on the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:32). Being FOUND and coming to new life by returning to the Father.
You often hear in Sacred scripture that Jesus retreated often to spend time with His Father in prayer to give him the spiritual sustenance to carry out His ministry. We felt it was very important that this retreat was made available to children, youth, young adults and all parishioners.
There are 100 spots available costing $100. Your generous donations at the last two youth fundraisers has raised $2000 to reduce the amount from the initial cost $165 which includes catering and accommodation. The cost of the retreat is $15,800 including the cost of the bus. Please register to https://darrajindaleecatholicparish.org.au/registration/
REGISTRATIONS CLOSE ON FRIDAY 16 AUGUST AT 5PM. Please direct all enquiries to Luisa at ym.darjin@bne.catholic.net.au
