Events
The Diocese of Palmerston North hosts a number of events, both regionally and Diocesan-wide. We also promote and encourage attendance to many national and international events for young people.
Our events include and are not limited to Festival One, Young Catholic Leader, Hearts Aflame and Life Teen Aotearoa Summer Camp.
In the meantime, youth groups are up and running in our main centres and we often have regional Confirmation programmes running throughout the year, which is for Year 11 students and older in this diocese.
Are you interested in becoming Catholic, being part of one of our young church sacramental programmes, being a minister in young church and/or starting a youth group?
Please contact one of our young church ministers for more information!
