There are a great variety of youth organisations and groups in the dioceses catering from the early teens to mid twenties age group. Many parishes have childrens groups and youth clubs. An exciting developement is that some parishes are beginning to hold regular holiday clubs during the summer months.

The Diocese employs a full time Youth Officer for the Cashel Council area and also a part time Children's Officer. It is hoped that by 2007 the Diocese of Ferns will also employ a full time Children and youth Officer.

In the links section of this site there is a special page of educational and youth work links to other web sites that we hope will be helpful to you.
