Our Youth Group consists of young members of our parish who collaborate to enrich the spiritual, social, and communal lives of the church’s youth. They play a vital role in engaging and empowering young parishioners, supporting their faith development and encouraging active participation within the church community.

• They organise and coordinate youth-oriented events, including social gatherings and community service initiatives.
• They advocate for the interests and concerns of the youth to parish leadership, ensuring their perspectives are acknowledged in decision-making processes.
• They facilitate programs that promote the spiritual growth of our young members at St. Michael, such as Bible studies, prayer groups, and religious education classes.
• They foster a sense of community among the youth by nurturing relationships and a strong sense of belonging within the parish.

Back in November 2025, Father Daniel set a challenge to the parish youth in the form of an essay competition to engage our youth to envisage what good looks like in the future. The task was to compose an essay titled My Vision for a Vibrant Youth in St Michael’s Parish.

The St. Michael Youth Group team invited young people aged 11–25 to share their inspiring ideas for building a stronger, more dynamic and faith-filled youth community. Maximum word count was 250 words on one A4 page.

Submission deadline was Thursday, 4 December 2025 and the following prizes were up for grabs:

• 1st Place - £50
• 2nd Place - £30
• 3rd Place - £20

Entries were reviewed and graded by the youth coordinators and the winners announced on the last Sunday of the month, 28 December. 

• Winner: Chimbi
