Young people

There are 3 main activities for the young people enrolled for the Pope Francis Faith Award.

  1. At various points, mainly across P6 & P7, they will gather together to reflect on a short Scripture passages which will help them to LEARN and REFLECT about their Faith.
  2. After they reflect on each Gift of the Holy Spirit they will be asked to ACT by choosing a Faith Action which they will do at HOME, in SCHOOL and, if they are Catholic, in their PARISH.
  3. They will note their learning, their actions and their reflections on these in their personal FAITH Journal which will act as a scrapbook for collecting evidence – notes, photographs etc.

To be presented with the award a young person must present evidence to show that (s)he:

  • has used all the gifts of the Holy Spirit when showing love of God and love of others
  • has reflected on how their actions have made an impact on their journey of faith.

To gain the award with a Parish Commendation, the parish must confirm that a young parishioner is participating in the life of the parish.
