The Brentwood Catholic Youth Service has a number of fantastic events planned for coming months.
BCYS YOUTH MASS – Thursday 5 Oct, 6pm at Brentwood Cathedral
Beginning with pizza and refreshments in the Parish Hall from 6pm, with input from Caritas Diocese of Brentwood, celebrating the “Season of Creation”.
Youth Mass celebrated in the Cathedral at 7:30pm. Absolutely everyone is welcome; please bring instruments, and sing, serve or read if you wish! No need to book!
BCYS YOUTH GATHER – Sat 21 – Sun 22 Oct at Essex Outdoors on Mersea Island
Open to absolutely anyone in Year 9 and above, this is a weekend of outdoor activities (climbing, high ropes, archery, zip wire) as well as prayer, reflection and input from the amazing Adeniké, who was a semi-finalist on “The Voice” in 2021 as part of Team WILL.I.AM (many will remember her also from Flame in March!) A singer-songwriter and passionate parish youth leader from London, she will be joining us on Mersea Island to share her faith, her journey and, of course, lead us in music throughout the weekend!
There will be coaches picking up from six different locations around the Diocese, and this is included in the cost of the weekend, as well as all food, accommodation, two outdoor activities, workshops from Adenike and the SVP and so much more!
