After the retreat for Year 11 has to be cancelled due to the snow before Christmas, the group have finally made it to the Youth Village this weekend and we've got a few pics to show from their experience so far:

With 211 days to go until World Youth Day this year the preparations are well under way. Four representatives from Hartlepool are going to be attending WYD2011 with Anne-Marie Lavelle and Bernadette Malcolmson representing English Martyrs School & Andrew Trueman and James Race representing the young people of the Hartlepool parishes. The group will be travelling with the Hexham and Newcastle Dioscese and will also be taking part in the Days in the Dioscese programme, working with people in Toledo for a week before travelling to Madrid for WYD itself. Please keep our group in your prayers and look out for some events you can get involved in during the build up.

Many of our young people decide to take a gap year before heading off to university but how many want to make such a big impact during that time as a former Student and head boy of English Martyrs, Tom Kitchen? He joined up to a program called Step Into the Gap which is run by CAFOD along with the Society for the Holy Child Jesus and in partnership with St Mary’s College and YMT.
Tom is currently in Liberia along with some other members of YMT and the group are doing a few blog updates on the YMT site about their travels. The first instalment tells a lovely story about Maria from YMT and a chance meeting with someone from her past. Click the link to read the Step Into The Gap Blog.

Twelve young people set off on a journey into the unknown yesterday, accompanied by 3 wise women and 3 wise men! All the young people knew was that they would, in some way, be following in the footsteps of the Magi. They got their first clues as to their destination on arriving at Hartlepool station and boarding a train to Hexham. Forty-five minutes later, still guessing where they were going, they got off at Newcastle and crossed the road to the Cathedral.
As the Magi had done 2000 years earlier, the group then gathered round the crib to worship Jesus and offer him objects symbolising gifts they wished to give him- a coin representing leadership, a mobile phone representing prayer, a photograph album representing friendship and many more. Then, warned in a dream to avoid the local authorities, they returned to Hartlepool by another road that just happened to go past Burger King- where else would 3 Kings eat?
Many thanks to Fr. Marc for making us so welcome and leading us in our prayer.

When heading into a new year it always seems right to look back at the one we've just left behind. Since this blog was launched in 2008 we've had 110 posts (including this one!) and thousands of people reading our stories. Some people already knew about our blog, others followed a link from our friends at YMT or on Facebook, whilst many have simply discovered us on Google or been emailed a link with our details and have checked us out from there.
Our audience doesn't just focus on Hartlepool as although about 80% of our traffic comes from the UK the other 20% is from all around the globe. Since we started the blog we have have had people reading our posts from America, Russia, Netherlands, Croatia, Denmark, Philippines, Canada, China and Germany. Even in the last month we've had a few first time visitors from Chile, Indonesia, India and Portugal who are all more than welcome to read about the work we do with Youth Ministry here in Hartlepool.
We're looking for some of our readers to get in touch and let us know what brought them to our blog, anything they enjoy about it and if they've got any suggestions for how we can make even more progress in 2011. Are you interested? If so then please get in touch by commenting on this post as we would love to hear from you!
