halloween party with Ferns CiYCDiocesan Youth Councils exist to promote the spiritual, social, educational and recreational aspects of life of the Church of Ireland youth of the the area.

Their vision is to enable young people in their spiritual Christian journey through bringing the youth of parishes together in worship, social events and fun They organise many youth events throughout the United Diocese.

There are three different Youth Councils in the Diocese: Laois, Ferns and Kilkenny/Carlow.

They meet regularly to plan and organise ideas, strategies and events.

They organise both Under 18 and over 18 events so that all ages are catered for up to the age of around 26.

A prayer for the Youth Councils

Jesus, Lord and Saviour, we ask your blessing on our Young people, Youth Leaders and Youth Councils.

Help them so to think and pray and work together that they may become one in purpose to seek out your will for their lives and serve you loyally in the fellowship of your Church.

We ask it in your name, Christ our Lord. Amen
