‘Called to Serve’ day for catechists, youth leaders and Caritas volunteers

• Are you a parish catechist?
• Do you volunteer or work in your parish with children or young people?
• Are you involved in social action in your parish?
• Would you like to be involved in any of these ministries in your parish?

If you have answered yes to any of the above, then you are invited to our Called to Serve Day at the Focolare Centre in Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6JG on Saturday 27^th June, 10am to 4pm.  This Day will be jointly led by the Agency for Evangelisation, Westminster Youth Ministry and Caritas Westminster with contributions from Fr Patrick van der Vorst (founder of Christian Art). 

Join us as we celebrate our vocations to serve Christ and others in different ways in our parishes. The Day will include opportunities to meet, discuss and pray with others in similar roles; find about useful resources; deepen our faith; and learn more through taster workshops led by Evangelisation, Caritas and Youth Ministry on the Day.

This Day in June is aimed primarily at those who live, work or serve in parishes in Hertfordshire or North London, but is open to those in these roles from elsewhere in Westminster Diocese. 

Refreshments will be provided but attendees should bring a packed lunch with them.

There is a donation of £10 per person for the day, and attendees need to book a place in advance.  To do so, please register by 5pm on Monday 15 June 2026.  

Once you have booked you place we will email more information to you.  If you have any questions about the Day, please email Warren at catadmin@rcdow.org.uk.

If you would like to attend but are unable, then do come instead to our other Called to Serve Day on Saturday 3^rd October at the SPEC Youth Ministry Centre in Pinner, London.
