St Patrick's Weekend (as described by some) saw the latest Youth Ministry Training Weekend hosted by Savio House, Bollington.

Brothers in Formation came from all over the Province to explore another section of Youth Ministry, this time with Fr Paddy Hennessy of the Irish Province.

A lively discussion was held on topics such as:

• Bible meets Culture
• Youth: The NOW of God
• Youth Ministry and Self definition
• Youth Ministry is Synodal
• Youth Ministry: Living with Hope

Two very interesting 'Good Nights' were delivered by Bro Nhan (Bootle) and Bro Frano (Battersea); Prayers by Bro(s) Chin and Sixtus of the Bollington Community - our Masses were led by Fr Joe Tran, Fr Tony Fernandes and Fr Gerry Briody.

Recognising joy and laughter is very important and our social evenings were indeed moments of both - the board games provided were anything but boring!!

Eyes are looking forward to the 3rd of our meetings this year which will be held in June, led by Louis Grech from Malta.
