Three major events are planned between now and Easter
Damian Shortenwrites:
Annual General Meeting
Our Annual General Meeting will take place at 3.00 pm on Saturday 3 rd March in Adare Parochial National School. We do hope that as many as possible will come to hear about the events during 2011, learn about the finances of the Diocesan Youth Council, elect a new committee for forthcoming year, ask some questions, share in Youth Ministry experiences and learn about what might happen in 2012. So please do come along and all ages are welcome.
Senior Spring Weekend
Our adventure weekend for 13 plus age group will take place over St. Patrick’s weekend from Friday 16th – Monday 19th March 2012 using the splendid facilities of Densmore Lodge, Ovoca Manor, Avoca, Co.

The weekend will not be without the splendid mix of outdoor adventure activities available on site at the venue including Climbing wall, Junior and Senior Obstacle Course, Zip Line, Orienteering, Abseiling and Climbing Wall.
