In September 2010 our first YOUTH MISSION TEAM will be formed. Youth Chaplain, Fr Paul Farrer, is looking for up to six young adults to join him in forming a community. Living together at St Thomas More’s, Middlesbrough, the team will spend a year working with the young people of the Diocese.
To join the team you must be 18+ on or before the 1st of September 2010. The team is ideally suited to people who are interested in deepening their relationship with God and helping other young people to do the same.
Under Fr Paul’s direction the team will work with groups of young people in the schools and parishes of the Diocese. School Missions, Retreats and all kinds of other group work will be the back bone of our daily work while community living and prayer will be the back bone of our daily life.
Volunteers will be housed, fed, and receive a small amount of money each month during their stay, which will mirror the academic year.
Bishop Terry asked Fr Paul to set up the Mission Team and told him, ‘I am certainly asking you and the young people of the team to put out into deep water.’
Fr Paul said, ‘I am really looking forward to working with a team of young adults. It is very exciting. There is much that we don’t know yet but the first team members will have the chance to help establish something very important for the future of our Diocese.
‘Our Diocesan Secondary Schools are already very excited about what we will be able to offer them. In fact, there is plenty of work lined up already for the first couple of years. All we need now are volunteers!
‘Anyone who is interested in applying to join the team should write to me asking for an application form. I would be happy to speak with anyone who would like more information. Get in touch – this is the kind of opportunity that will change your life and the lives of all of those you meet!
