Young People These Days

In the past month I've had the privilege twice to look for volunteers, and work with, young people.

In my parish role we were looking at setting up a Youth Mass.  A place where we would emphasise the  talents and enthusiasm of the young people of our parish.

There are two distinct sides to our parish, so we approached the youth club in both sides separately.
I am amazed at how easily they volunteered.  They were happy to sing.  To stand up and speak, to be seen and to be counted.

Seriously, I think they are a hell of a lot more talented and cooler than I ever was at that age.

And yes, in both cases they performed excellently.
