Great video from Busted Halo on electing the new pope!

I've just come across some resources for unpacking the Youcat a little bit more:

1)http://www.newmanconnection.com/institute/courses/exploring-youcat which has lessons on the different chapters

2)http://catholicyouthministryresources.com/youcat-in-180-days/ - read through in 180 days with a couple of questions a day

I've yet to try either of them out.

Pretty sure that I went to the same school as Clare only I started in 2000, so I thought it was something which had always happened.   I also remember certain members of staff asking pupils if anyone wanted to lead it rather than just the teacher.  However, I don't recall ever exploring what the Angelus meant more it was something we did that's not to say we were never told as there's lots of things I learnt in school I wouldn't be able to tell you about today.

I looked the the Angelus this morning with a year 6 class and got them to look at yes in different languages to help them understand that the Angelus is a quite way to remind us to say yes to God like Mary did and just before we pray it to think about the ways we can say yes to God today.  Our Diocese has asked us to pray the Angelus before every Mass and prayer cards were distributed on Sunday in all parishes with the Amina Christe on the back.

Hi everyone,

I've just noticed that Rend Collective are going on tour and I'd recommend checking them out if they are going to be playing near you.   Unfortunately, they are missing out the north of England so I doubt I will be there.

Thanks for the reminder about the Youth Work magazine, you've just motivated me to sign up for it.  Still undecided about the conference, it does sounds great but I will let you know if I book a ticket.  Thanks to those who provided feedback from last year.

Hey everyone!

I've just been looking at some resources online and Cafod come up with something which I think could be a great activity - messages of peace, especially in this time of Remembrance.

You can post your own messages and look at what peace means to others.  Then you can also send them your videos of passing it on which look quite fun to make.

Hope it's of some use.
