Today, the Feast of Christ the King, is the last Sunday of the Church’s Year and National Youth Sunday. We celebrate the place of children and young people in the Church. In his annual message to young people, Pope Benedict XVI speaks about hope. He says: “Christ is the great hope to which we all aspire and who never disappoints”.
There will be a Second Collection in each parish today to support the work of Animate - the Archdiocesan Youth Service. You can find out more about Youth Sunday at this website: http://www.nationalyouthsunday.org.uk and about Animate at this website: http://www.animateyouth.org
