Media Centre

Well as they say, day is done... but we're not quite! We really enjoyed celebrating the feast with you all in parishes, schools, chaplaincies and dioceses across England & Wales. With Facebook fully booked and Twitter all a-twittering, you kindly shared your plans and hopes. Now's the time to let us know how you prepared, what you learnt, and what you enjoyed the most. You can still contact us via Facebook, Twitter or by email...

Your Witness to Hope

We received some fantastic feedback from you about National Youth Sunday - thanks! We especially love that you love our saints cards. Spare a thought for St Cecilia, whose feastday it is normally on 22nd November when it's not a Sunday. She did a fine job interceding for all you musicians and singers who served the liturgy. Has anyone made a card of her? St Cecilia, patron saint of musicians, pray for us!

A few lovely people sent in inspiring presentations on Witness to Hope, which you'll find below. There's more on the multimedia page.

As for songs to accompany the presentation, how about Where Is Your Heart by Kelly Clarkson or Use Somebody by Kings of Leon?

Got something to share? You know how! feedback@nationalyouthsunday.org.uk
