What we do
Accompanying young people
The Youth Service of the Diocese of Lancaster engages young people in the life of the Church through retreats, events, and leadership opportunities. Based at Castlerigg Manor, it provides a space where young people can encounter Christ, grow in faith, and build lasting friendships. The team works with schools and parishes to support youth ministry and encourage vocations, helping young Catholics live out their faith with confidence and joy.
