News from the Kenelm Youth Trust (KYT)

The Kenelm Youth Trust were delighted that Bishop Timothy Menezes was able to present The Pope John Paul II Awards and the Faith in Action Awards to young people who have given between them over 1,000 hours of service to their parish and wider community. 

The Awards recognise roles undertaken by young people in their parish and hours of service volunteered over a period of time.  

Young people take time to reflect on their service using scripture and church teaching and they journal as part of this process. 

The Awards were recently presented in Rome at the Jubilee for Youth and at Don Bosco House, Coleshill, at the Awards Ceremony. 

Congratulations to all our young people, parish priests, parish youth leaders, lay chaplains and school staff who have supported them on this journey. 

A special mention must go to Ruadhan Taylor from St Benedict’s in Atherstone who was awarded The Papal Cross. 

Any parish or school wishing to run these Awards is invited to contact [email protected]
