In June 2021 Derry Diocesan Youth Ministry is hosting RENEWAL, a six week mentoring programme for parish and volunteer leaders working with young people (13-18 year olds) in the Diocese of Derry.
Strategically plan the next steps in your parish

- Diocesan Youth Ministry initiatives and training; and
- Planning the way forward.
