…. to James, Emma and Niall from St Peter’s Parish, Melton Mowbray. They were recently awarded certificates to mark their completion of Young Leaders Training. This was led by Father Joe and Kristi Newton, the parish Youth Leader. James, Emma and Niall were presented with their certificates at Sunday Mass by Fr Joe, Kristi and Fr Jim O’Hanlon. They are already leading different activities and sessions in their parish youth group and are proving to be a real asset to the group and parish.

Coming from as far afield as Scunthorpe, Buxton, Leicester and other far-flung corners of the diocese, they took part in workshops on Confirmation Catechesis, Safeguarding, leading prayer with young people ……… Led by Father Joe, the input was given by The Briars and reach4 teams, Hannah, Tom and Kelly at the Youth Service, Paula Bailey from the Education Service and John Creedon, our Diocesan Safeguarding Coordinator. Comments from evaluations included ‘thought provoking’, ‘encouraging’, ‘great fun’ and ‘this was a really valuable weekend’. It is hoped to make it an annual event so look out for next year!

On Thursday we went to St Peter’s, Leicester and looked at Discipleship and what it is to be a good disciple. We had a special guest in to talk to us Fr David Cain and he was our Yoda. You got to ask him questions about what it was like to be a priest and found out lots of stuff about him which was brilliant and you guys asked some really interesting questions!
We then got to watch and bit of Indiana and thought about what it was to be a good disciple and what a better way to do it then to play some games! Which went really well – can’t believe this is the second to last session with you guys!!
