Youth from across the diocese are invited to come together on June 21 at Church of the Good Shepherd in Wakefield, Quebec.
“It’s a beautiful church nestled in the Gatineau hills, and it is a great opportunity for youth from different parts of our diocese to get to know one another and to share their experiences of church,” said the Rev. Caz Ducros, who is the incumbent of the church and is co-ordinating the event with the Rev. Victoria Scott.
It is also an opportunity to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day together in a spirit of respect and unity.
The event will begin at 10 am with prayer, and then they plan to go on a walk to enjoy the first day of summer together in scenic Wakefield, which is on the Gatineau River and is surrounded by forest.
Organizers ask anyone who wants to attend to register or to let them know by email [[email protected] or [email protected]] by Monday, June 16. They also ask anyone planning to come to let them know if they have any mobility challenges so that they can accommodate everyone at the church, which is an older building accessible by stairs, and so that they can choose a route for the walk that is appropriate for everyone attending. The event is free.
When they return to the church, lunch will be provided and there will be time to socialize before everyone heads home about 2 pm. Please specify any dietary restrictions in advance by email as well.
ADO youth events are for anyone aged 12 to 18. Come out and have some fun!
