Diocese of Palmerston North

YoungCatholicLeader (YCL)

YCL is a “Formation by Participation” opportunity for students from Colleges in the Diocese of Palmerston North entering Year 13 in 2019. “Formation by Participation” means that the more a participant puts into participating in the activities the more they will gain. All activities will be overseen by staff of the Diocese but participants will interact with each other and choose their own level of involvement within the supportive peer environment.

Young Catholic Leader (YCL) 2018 runs from December 10-14 at Highland Home Christian Camp in the beautiful Pohangina Valley in the Manawatu. YCL asks participants to take part in a variety of activities to encourage and form them in Catholic leadership.

The special emphasis of this event is on what it means to be a faithful Catholic leader 24/7, not just at school. Activities focus on prayer, service, collaboration, challenge, and personal commitment.

There are a number of talks given by young adults and outdoor activities such as physical challenges.  Beyond the sessions, students participate in group building, Catholic prayer and Mass, and the normal duties associated with being on camp for 4 days.  The event is run by the Catholic Diocese of Palmerston North by professional and volunteer staff, and supported by the staff of Highland Home.

 

The Health and Safety system for the event includes the following documentation:
