Mini Vinnies
The Mini Vinnies are literally Mini St. Vincent de Paul’s. Mini Vinnies are for young people in school Year 4 or above. Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support by doing whatever they can to help make a difference in our communities. They work on the slogan ‘See, Think & Do’
SEE: The young people look to see where action is needed in the community.
THINK: They then come together to talk about what they can do to help in the area they have identified.
DO: They then work together to do what they have planned to help in the identified area.
Youth SVP is for young people over 11. It runs along with Mini Vinnies and the older youth mentoring/supporting/leading the younger ones. We also encourage the older ones who are undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh to come along and volunteer with us as part of the DofE award.
Youth Catechists
We are looking for people to join a bank of Catechists. We want people with a wide range of gifts and talents to join our Youth Catechist team. We don’t want you to feel tied to one ministry and appreciate that it isn’t always possible or realistic to be able to come to every session of a course as a helper.
We have created the ‘Youth Catechist Bank’ to give us and you the opportunity to help as much or little as you are able to, working across all Youth Ministries. This includes First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Mini Vinnies, Faith in Action PJII Award, Youth outings and other ad hoc events.
All Catechists have a valid DBS check.
HOW TO JOIN US
