If you’ve been following our Youth Instagram account, you’ll have noticed something’s changed. We’re stepping forward with a renewed vision and a new name: Emmaus Catholic Youth. This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a declaration of what we believe youth ministry should be: a journey of accompaniment, rooted in one of the most powerful encounters in Scripture – the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). Journey With Us To all young people (13-17) we would like to invite you to our launch event “Emmaus Discover Youth Retreat” on 23rd November, 2025 at St David’s Catholic Sixth-Form College for a day of fun, prayer, friendship and an opportunity to discover the person of Jesus who always walks with us.
