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.

Our mission

Our mission is to create spaces where young people can encounter Christ, grow in faith, and build lasting friendships. We strive to make every young person feel valued, heard, and empowered to live out their faith authentically.
