Take a look at the calendar of events for the synod!

Over the next 18 months the Kenelm Youth Trust in collaboration with the diocesan vocations office have put together a timetable of events and initiatives to help the young people from our communities across the Archdiocese of Birmingham to get involved and respond to Pope Francis' invitation. 

Drawing from the Synod preparatory document and Pope Francis' letter to young people, we will work in synergy to explore the key themes about:

• Young people in today's rapidly changing world of fluidity and uncertainty never before experienced, how to belong in new generations; the transition to adult life and the building of personal identity and skills - the impact choice can have on your life.
• Faith, vocation and the gift of discernment; the Church's desire to encounter, understand, accompany and care for young people; faith as the source of vocational discernment on the path towards vocation and mission; young people and choice; the gift of discernment - recognising, interpreting and accepting.​

• Pastoral activity -walking with young people, encountering them where they are at, adapting to their times and pace of life - going out, seeing an calling, for all young people to be agents, to explore and understand their place in daily life and to commitment, the resources available to them, educative care and the path of evangelisation.

​

Throughout the project, we will also highlight that the church offers an invitation to belong and that the Gospel message and a relationship with Christ and with His Church is vital in the discernment of the questions of a young person's own heart. In our messaging about this project we will stress the importance of the opportunities for young people to learn, listen, discover and discern, so as to be formed, to respond and to share the witness and encounter of Christ with those they come in to contact with.

Below is the calendar of events that form our journey together. You will also find links to the preparatory events taking place in March, with a more detailed description of each event.
