Background 

This ministry is being funded by grants and significant financial contributions from parishioners of the local Catholic churches.

This Youth Ministry Project has the backing of The Archdiocesan Trustees, Local Priests including our two Pastoral Area Deans, The Diocesan Youth Service.

The parishes covered by this project are in a mainly urban area, socially mixed, containing areas of affluence and deprivation. Throughout the area there are many activities in which children are actively involved including cubs, scouts, brownies, children’s liturgy groups and sacramental preparation. However, there was a growing concern that although there are numerous facilities for children up to the age of ten, once they enter into secondary education they become more alienated from the church community.

After much discussion with representatives from all parishes in the Deanery and the Archdiocesan Youth Service we have found that:

  1. Youth and the future of the Catholic churches in the Formby Thornton Deanery are the two main concerns of parishioners of all ages in the area.

  2. To provide an adequate service for our youth we cannot rely on finding sufficient volunteer, adult leaders.
