NATIONAL YOUTH SUNDAY – 23rd NOVEMBER 2014
On National Youth Sunday we are asked to make a point of
welcoming, encouraging and celebrating the young people
around us. The theme for this year poses the question,
‘How happy are you?’ It is intended to enable a reflection
on how we can find true and lasting happiness. The
postcards to be given to young people respond to this
question with ‘Be Attitudes’, inspired by the Beatitudes in
Matthew’s gospel.
