Pope John Paul II Awards

Through the Pope John Paul II Award, young people will be enabled to take an active part in the life of their Church, in the life of their community and society and also become more aware of the teaching and role of the Catholic Church in the world. This will enable young people to engage at a deep level with Christ, whose body the Church is.

It will allow young people to understand that religion and faith is not just for learning, nor is it a list of rules, but that it is for living. We in the parish of Holy Redeemer pray that many young people will be touched through this programme by the love of Christ.

What exactly do I do to earn an Award?

You earn your Award by taking part in activities through each of these key areas:

1) Parish Involvement
