This year, the Young Christian Workers movement (YCW) in England and Wales will host the International Congress of YCW at Alton Castle, near Alton Towers in Staffordshire.
This event takes place every four years, and delegates from over 40 countries come together for two weeks.
Their work will include a reflection on the economic and working realities of young people with the aim of preparing young leaders to graduate – to enter the adult world and make a contribution.
Preparations for the Congress, which will be held from late August until early September, are well under way. If you can help in any way: with liturgy, welcoming, free time, translation or just general assistance, please contact Anna at anna@ycwimpact.com
Meanwhile, on 15 and 16 February Father Michael Morton (pictured) and Jerome Lalley, both former YCW members, will make a sponsored cycle-ride from Sandbach in south Cheshire to Stafford and back.
