Welcome
Welcome to the Diocese of Meath Youth Page! Our Diocese desires to share the good news of the gospel and the person of Jesus with young people. This ministry builds character, inspires, and provides opportunities for fellowship, faith formation, discipleship and the integration of our young people into the life of the Church.
Sixty teenagers from around the Diocese of Meath gathered in Mullingar for the Christ the King Youth Festival recently. They participated in the 40 Hours of Adoration that took place at the Cathedral over the weekend and had their own youth track in the nearby parish centre which included keynote talk from Bishop Alan McGuckian, SJ, Bishop of Down and Connor, games, testimonies, food, Confession, and prayer. They also had Mass in the Cathedral with Bishop Tom Deenihan and concluded the event by joining in Vespers with hundreds of the faithful from across the diocese.

“Give yourself to the adventure”
Bishop Robert Barron to Irish young adults
On the invitation of Bishop Fintan Gavin of Cork and Ross, Bishop Robert Barron of Winona–Rochester met with over 600 Irish pilgrims who journeyed to Rome, in July, as part of the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025, to specifically address young adults on the theme Pilgrims of Hope.
A highlight of the pilgrimage was when Bishop Barron delivered a moving catechesis and celebrated Mass with the Irish group at the Instituto Santa Maria.
In Bishop Barron’s address, he urged the young pilgrims to reclaim the missionary spirit of Saint Patrick: “Ireland once sent saints and scholars to re-evangelise a continent. That missionary fire is still alive – and it’s in you. Let his courage, faith, and love for Christ inspire you. Bring that mission home. Be radiant signs of hope and faith in Ireland and beyond.”
