We are pleased to announce that a new YCW Group has been set up in Mary, Mother of God Parish, Bradford. The Group’s Adult Companion will be Mgr. Paul Grogan, who has been working with the National Team to set up the Group.
Mgr. John Marsland, National Chaplain, went virtually along to the first meeting to help lead the session and explain how a YCW Group runs, the various ways in which young people can take on the leadership of the movement and ultimately, how the group can help strengthen the link between their reality and the Gospels.
Marc Besford, National President went along to their second meeting and did a workshop on the principles of the YCW so they could understand and appreciate the need for the SEE-JUDGE-ACT method and what it means to be a young leader. This gives the young people an opportunity to discuss their own realities and examine how this all fits into their local communities and the wider world, but then inspires them to act upon this with authentic Christian action.
Marc said: "It was great to see another new group being formed especially in the current circumstances. The young people who came along were really enthusiastic and keen to learn more about the YCW”
