We are in need of assistance to run the film club which is held every second and fourth Thursday of the month. Volunteers would be expected to help with the setting up of beverages, washing up and cleaning tables after the film. There is also a need for a volunteer to help with the setting up of the laptop for the film when the current volunteer is away. Full training can be given. If you can help see either Sue or David Doherty.

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.
