Acutis Club
The Acutis Club is our Parish Group for young parishioners, currently for children in school year 3 - year 9.
The group meets on alternate Sundays in term time from 4.30pm - 6pm.
2024 dates are to be confirmed.
Objective of the Group To create a nurturing, safe and positive environment for our young parishioners between their First Holy Communion and their Confirmation, so they feel connected to our parish, socialise with each other, and establish the foundations of a life of Faith and Love.
Our Vision
- a place of joyful interactions
- a place of connection, wherever the child may be
- a safe place to talk about what concerns them
- a place that exemplifies why Faith matters
Our Mission To make it fun to go to Church by creating a safe and caring space where children can, simply, be.
Blessed Carlo Acutis Our club is named after the English-born Italian teenager who died of Leukaemia in 2006 and was beatified in 2020 by Pope Francis. During his life, Carlo showed that it is possible to put God first in our digitally obsessed world and to do so joyfully, putting oneself at the service of others. He is a wonderful model for our club and our young people.
Age Group Initially, we will open the club to the younger age band, School Year 3 – Year 9. Our ambition is eventually to offer a provision for all young people aged from 8-16 years, as well as a group for older teenagers.
