Youth Ministry Trust Account

In years past generous donations have been received to the St. Paul’s Youth Ministry Trust account. This trust account has been used since 2012 to support our youth, young adults and volunteer youth leaders in taking part in retreats, conferences and leadership development opportunities. We have supported young people in attending the following experiences: 
-         British Columbia and Yukon Anglican Youth Movement Fall Conferences
-         February Winter Retreat @ Sorrento Centre 
-         Young Sojourners Weekend @ Sorrento Centre
-         Ask and Imagine leadership program in London, Ontario
-         Leadership, Experience and Adventure Program (LEAP) at Sorrento Centre.
-         Canadian Lutheran and Anglican Youth Gathering, held every two years and moves across the country.

This trust fund has made it possible for many of our young people to attend these important retreats, gatherings and leadership training opportunities without the cost being a burden on them and their families. It also shows them that we as the Cathedral Community support learning and experiential opportunities in more ways than one.

We are inviting you to consider donating to this important trust fund. The funds raised for the Youth Ministry Trust Account will continue to be used to support our young people and the youth leadership team (a volunteer team of young people who largely are in post-secondary school) in participating in leadership training opportunities, retreats and conferences outside of the events and activities that take place at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The next two upcoming gatherings include the Young Sojourners Weekend and the LEAP Program.

We give thanks for your continued support of our young people at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Donations can be made through the Cathedral office, clearly marked for the Youth Trust Fund.

If you would like more information about the Youth Ministry Trust account or youth programming contact Melissa Green, Youth Coordinator at: stpaulscathedralyouth@gmail.com or 250-682-4866
