Members of the Youth Service Group at St. Joseph's
One of the priorities of the Youth Service is to give the Redshirts a change to serve at events around the diocese. The week in Lourdes is all about ‘love through service’ and so extending this charism into other parts of life is a natural development for the whole project.
The Redshirts are invited to come along to a variety of events in the diocese throughout the year and the response is usually a generous one.
Sunday June 14th saw the annual FIESTA – a day for those with learning difficulties and their families, which this year was held in the beautiful grounds of St. Joseph’s School in Cranleigh. The Redshirts’ duties included car parking, setting up equipment, serving drinks, entertaining small children (a particular favourite) and many others.
As ever their presence was appreciated.

Serving drinks and food after Mass. The hats, by the way, weren't just a fashion statement - It was a very hot day!
Amusing some of the smaller children with parachute games.
