Phoenix Summer Camps

Phoenix is a Salesian holiday project which works with nearly one hundred young people from across the country each year. Every summer, schools are invited to bring groups of Year 7 pupils who they've identified as being both brilliant and deserving of a break away. People enjoy a whole heap of activities including canoeing, orienteering, massive water games as well as a few more sedate activities for when the sun sets. We are always on the look out for new schools to get on board, fundraising, volunteers, fundraising, fresh ideas, fundraising and your prayers. For more information, get in touch with Sue at sue@salesianyouthministry.org.uk

Faith in Action Week

We're trying something new over the summer: Faith in Action Week.

The plan is to gather up to twenty 16-year olds (2 per school) for a five day experience of faith in action, including workshops from CAFOD, the Columban Lay Missionaries and Pax Christi, prayer and reflection, visits to social justice projects, leadership skills – and of course, a lot of fun!

We hope to develop young leaders in justice and peace – supporting their faith formation and helping them engage their peers in putting faith into action – and we hope to support and animate them into the future. We are therefore inviting young people with:
- Leadership qualities (at school and/or local community)
- Passion about challenging injustice
- Commitment to their faith

2016 Dates TBA

Spaces are extremely limited, so please move quickly – contact Sue at sue@salesianyouthministry.org.uk for forms or more information.
