Flame 2023

As youth ministry "rebuilds" after the pandemic we hope this is an exciting prospect - something to aim for, and give hope, as young people (and all of us) get used to socialising again. The theme of Flame 2023 - which is exactly 150 days before World Youth Day in Lisbon - takes the WYD Scripture ("Mary arose and went in haste") and crystallises it into the theme, "Rise Up!" Rise up after the pandemic, Rise up as young Catholics, Rise up - as Mary did - for the surprising and beautiful adventure that is our Catholic faith. Learn more about Flame 2023 at FLAME - CYMFed This year, Clifton Diocese has booked tickets and a coach for 50 people. If you're interested in booking a ticket through and travelling with the diocese, please send an email to youth@cliftondiocese.com.
