Welcome to Youth Ministry in the Diocese of Limerick!
Our youth ministry programmes, pilgrimages and events are all centred around three flames, Fáilte, Foghlaim & Guí
Fáilte – Welcome; ensuring that everyone feels welcome, that they are accepted and valued for who they are and that they all feel like they belong.
Foghlaim – Learning; at every event we try to create opportunities for young people to learn something new about themselves, their friends, their faith or about the world they live in.
Guí – Prayer; every time we gather we give time to prayer, to connecting with God and with our faith community. These moments of prayer bring us closer to each other and to Jesus.
These flames are the three fires of Muintearas Íosa, a Diocesan Youth Group that has been running for over forty years and which focuses on the importance of journeying with young people and building relationships through positive shared experiences.
Youth Ministry Programmes and Events are currently led by Aoife Walsh (with help and support from lots of volunteers).
If you are interested in running a youth ministry event in your parish please contact us as we would be only too happy to resource or support parish youth ministry initiatives in any way we can.

Catholic Social Justice Resource Pack for Secondary School
Following on from a Social Media campaign last year, we have now developed a resource pack on Catholic Social Justice. The pack contains images, ideas for discussion, projects, activities and also points to other resources that might be useful. We have also compiled some prayers, reflections, speeches and poems, all relating to social justice themes which might help you to prepare liturgies or moments of prayer and reflection. We hope that this resources will be useful to you and help you to raise awareness about these important issues. Please feel free to make your own of them!
