St Peter & the Winchester Martyrs Youth Ministry

Our parish youth group is starting up again on the 15th September from 6:30pm-8pm in the Parish Centre at St Peter's.
The youth group is for anyone aged 11-17 and we do a range of fun activities each week. We base our programme on what the young people want to learn/do whilst also incorporating wider parish courses into the group during seasons like advent and lent.

We'd love for any new members to join us next Friday for the first session! Please do sign up here to let us know you're coming: https://catholicwinchester.org.uk/youth-ministry-for-ages-11-17/
or if you have any questions email us at: [email protected]

Last night we had our youth group come dine with me-style meal!

One group made starters, one group mains, and one group desserts 😋

They were scored on presentation and taste (so two winners!)

Who do you think won? 😄

Our Youth Alpha course is starting again on the 26th September 2022! The Youth Alpha course is very similar to the main adult alpha course that we run. Youth Alpha is typically run over 10 weeks with an away day. In each session you have a meal, watch a talk, and discuss questions in small groups. The talks tackle core questions about life and faith from a Christian perspective. There are 9 weekly episodes and 4 episodes for the Alpha Away Day. Each episode averages 23 minutes in length. Throughout each episode, there are three discussion breaks. These breaks give everyone a chance to share thoughts and ideas in small groups without fear of being corrected or judged. Along the way there are opportunities to experience worship through music and moments for prayer. All of this is done in a fun environment where everyone is welcome. If you are considering Confirmation, please do sign up, as participation in at least one Alpha course is necessary for Confirmation.

The course will run from 7:30pm – 9pm on Monday evenings. We will run one course this year starting on September 26th.



Please do get in touch if you are interested, or want to hear a little bit more! We look forward to hearing from you 😊

We're really pleased to invite you to our "Seriously, God?" discussion group starting on 6th March 😊

Seriously, God? tackles big questions about the challenges of life and how we can face them with our Christian faith.

There are real examples, including those from the Bible, to help us discuss and work out how to have faith when life gets really tough.

If you think this is for you, please do join us! If will be from 6.30pm - 8pm on Sunday evenings during Lent.

Our first session is on the 6th March.

All aged 11-17 are welcome, if you're 18+ we have a group for young adults taking place at the same time.
