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.
A Youth Gathering (+18 years) will take place in the Church of the Nativity of Our Lady, Donore, at 7:30pm on Friday 1st December. Inspired by the Spirit of World Youth Day 2023 this is an opportunity for young adults to join together for prayer, reflection & discussion assisted with the support and guidance of priests from the diocese and the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal. Share the invite and bring a friend or two. Contact Fr. Mark English for more info: duleekparish@gmail.com

World Youth Day Pilgrims gathered in Lough Crew, Oldcastle recently for the annual diocesan celebrations in honour of St. Oliver Plunkett. During the celebration of Mass, Bishop Deenihan commissioned the WYD pilgrims in preparation for their pilgrimage to Lisbon in August for World Youth Day.
Pilgrim Prayer
Our Lady of the Visitation,
you who left in haste towards the mountain to meet Elizabeth,
lead us also to meet all those who await us
to deliver them the living Gospel:
Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord!
We will go in a hurry, with no distraction or delay,
but with readiness and joy.
We will go peacefully, because those who take Christ take peace,
and welldoing is the best wellbeing.
Our Lady of the Visitation,
with your inspiration, this World Youth Day
will be the mutual celebration of the Christ we take, as You once did.
Make it a time of testimony and sharing,
fraternization, and giving thanks,
each of us looking for the others who always wait.
With you, we will continue on this path of gathering,
so that our world will gather as well,
in fraternity, justice and peace.
Help us,
Our Lady of the Visitation,
to bring Christ to everyone, obeying the Father, in the love of the Spirit!
