What an unforgettable day we had in Dublin yesterday for the Fr Mike Schmitz Parables Tour!✨

We were so blessed to be part of such a beautiful Mass beforehand, and especially proud of Sarah O'Hagan from Desertmartin parish, who did a wonderful job reading the Prayer of the Faithful.

It was also a huge privilege to meet our newly appointed Bishop Michael Router outside the church. He took the time to stop and chat with the youth before we headed over to the National Stadium!

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event and loved connecting with so many like-minded young people on their faith journey. It was a beautiful reminder that we are part of something vibrant and amazing here in Ireland! 🇮🇪

We’ve made it back home to Derry safe and sound, with hearts on fire to spread the gospel message! ❤️‍🔥 A massive thank you to everyone who organized this incredible event. We can't wait to unite together again in the future!

It's that time again! 🥳
Our Online Programme for May is happening on Monday 18th May at 7pm over on our instagram page!

We know exam season is here, and for many of you it's one of the most stressful times of the year. This month, we'll be looking at how to navigate it with faith — leaning on God, Our Lady, and the Saints to carry us through.

As always, make sure you stick around until the end to find out your task for the month! 📝

See you then!
Derry Youth 🙏
