Sandhurst Youth Ministry (SYM) co-ordinates and fosters opportunities for young people (aged 16 – 35), across the Diocese, to connect with their faith and with one another. The experiences that we offer invite our youth into a relationship with Jesus and help them mature in their faith.

Our Youth Ministry Team is working towards a partnership between the Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst Chancery, Parishes and Priests, Schools, and the Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd Office.

Youth Ministry strives to foster the personal and spiritual growth of each person, to draw young people into responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community and to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.

Youth Ministry in the Sandhurst Diocese is dedicated to serving you and to providing you with an opportunity to deepen and develop your faith. There are many different Youth Ministry activities and events which create a fun and uplifting atmosphere for you all to be involved in. Take a leap of faith and be active in your journey of becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ.
