Faith Youth Day - Scarborough (31/10/09)




(Sorry for the delay in getting this post out)

Most of us have been on many an enjoyable 'Faith Youth Day', So it didn't take much encouragement to get together nearly thirty of us to join Fr William and his new parishioners for Scarborough's first ever Faith Youth Day.

After refreshments on arrival (thank you for all the yummy cakes), we had our main talk "Can I be certain that God exists?"
Many people today, think that science has disproved the existence of God. This could not be further from the truth. So it was good to be reminded of the important key facts with which we can give our reasons for believing.

Later there was the opportunity for confession and it was great that so many young people wanted to go; there had to be a second sitting (for want of a better word) after Mass.

Mass was followed by lunch, then there was a choice of activities,some of the more sporty types played football or basketball and for those who preferred a gentler form of exercise there was a walk along the sea front.

Later in the afternoon we heard from Sophie Ward and Nathan Too (two of our young people who have been coming for many years now) "Why I Still Go To Mass."

The day finished with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
