Young people celebrate ‘A Very Connor Christmas’

Tuesday December 5th 2023

Festive smiles at ‘A Very Connor Christmas’ held in Portglenone Parish Centre.

Young people and their leaders from across the diocese came together in Portglenone Parish Centre on Saturday evening, December 2, for ‘A Very Connor Christmas.’

There was Christmas food home cooked by members of Ahoghill and Portglenone Parish, games, a quiz with seasonal questions posed by the Rev Jacob Mercer, worship and a talk by Jonny Diamond.

The cold and fog did not deter the young people, with groups present from Ahoghill & Portglenone; the Church of the Good Shepherd, Monkstown; All Saints’, Antrim; Dunluce; St Patrick’s, Broughshane; St Nicholas’, Carrickfergus; the Church of the Holy Spirit, Mossley; Christ Church Lisburn; and St Brigid’s, Mallusk.

Connor Diocesan Youth Officer Christina Baillie said: “Thanks to the hospitality team in St Colmanell’s and Portglenone Parish for providing a great feed of sausage and bacon baps for all of us, and to the Youth Council for putting together a fantastic night.

“We’re so grateful to all the leaders and young people who came along for a special evening together!”
