Sunday Evening Youth Mass

This group contributes greatly to Mount Merrion Parish through the Sunday Evening 7.30pm Mass, at which they provide music, readings, decorations and themed Masses. It also organises fundraising events and social meet ups for it’s members throughout the year.  The groups runs from early September through to the beginning of June and always welcomes new members aged 16 years and over (i.e Transition Year) to join.

As part of the music and liturgy sub-groups, many members fulfil their “community involvement” requirements for programmes including the Gaisce President’s Award. Our current musical directors  are Conor O’Doherty and Marita Staunton. The liturgy sub-group is led by Eimear Redmond and Mark Byrne. During the last 12 years numerous members of the Youth Group have also made the exciting pilgrimmages to World Youth Day in exotic cities such as Cologne, Sydney, Madrid and most recently Rio de Janiero.
