Youth Ministry

lourdes-youth-1.gifDo not let people disregard you because
you are young, but be an example to all the
believers in the way you speak and behave,
and in your love, your faith and your purity.

1 Timothy 4:12

Ministry with and to young people takes place in many forms throughout the Archdiocese - in homes, schools, parishes, youth clubs, pilgrimages - anywhere people of faith recognise the gift of the Gospel and the gift of young people. The Archdiocese supports this ministry and develops opportunities for young people within the archdiocese and beyond through the Armagh Diocesan Youth Council (ADYC).

The Armagh Diocesan Youth Council (ADYC) was formed in the late 1990’s as a response to the growing needs of young people in the Archdiocese and since the implementation of its first plan in 2003 has worked to the vision and mission statements below:

VISION

Our vision is of a Church in which young people, motivated by a personal faith in Christ, will feel accepted, valued and empowered to fully participate.

MISSION STATEMENT

Motivated by Christ, our mission is to work in partnership with young people, Church and interested agencies to ensure that young people are encouraged and affirmed on their journey of faith. Through leadership training, school, parish and diocesan initiatives, we seek to enrich the Christian community.

The five areas of development from 2007-2010 within the ADYC are:habitat-07-c.gif

BE INSPIRED, BE A PART OF SOMETHING!!

 


Welcome to the website of the Archdiocese of Armagh.

Our diocese of sixty-one parishes, from four counties, North and South of the Border, is knitted together closely to form the historic local Church of Armagh. As a diocese we seek not only to be faithful to the message of Jesus Christ himself, but also to embrace the challenges of the present and to look forward with confidence to the opportunities of the future. We strive to do this primarily by reflecting the healing love of Christ and the Truth of his Gospel through the ministry of his Church in the various parishes and pastoral agencies you will find outlined in this website.

I pray that visitors to this site may find the information it contains, the aspirations and resources it promotes, useful in helping to understand the mission of the Archdiocese of Armagh in building up the Kingdom of God in the twenty-first century.

We place it under the protection of Mary, Mother of the Church, who advised us to do whatever her son, Jesus, tells us. We invoke the help of the Patron Saints of the diocese, Patrick  and  Brigid, Malachy and Moninne  and the martyrs, Oliver Plunkett and Patrick O'Loughran,  that this website may prove to be of great help to all who strive to follow Christ faithfully.
