Support and guidance for youth leaders
The restructuring of the youth service, initiated by the external review of 2006, is nearly complete and the changes have resulted in Reach4 being created, see above, and in the increased availability of the Director of Youth Services, Fr Joe, to support and advise youth ministers in schools and parishes.

YOUTH CaFE
This is a fast moving and packed series that has been designed to engage with Catholic teenagers of today. The style of the filming takes into account youth culture by using images, music, humour and teaching in the language of young people. The flexibility of this video course means that it can be used for Confirmation, youth groups and schools.
