Wearing a t-shirt designed by Robyn Hannon, a Year 8 English Martyrs Student, two of our parish youth groups helped give the gospel out to people on the Churches Together stall at Hartlepool Tall Ships 2010. The main attraction though was the prayer wall, brainchild of Fr. Adrian and designed by Faye Greason on which everyone was invited to share a prayer. The response was overwhelming! Other English Martyrs Students; Tom, Hannah, Emma and Alexa were also given an 'Access All Areas' pass and appeared on the main stage to read bidding prayers at the ecumenical service held on Sunday morning. This was a wonderful event and it was great for so many young people to be able to take part in it.

During the summer holidays, 16 young people and 6 adults undertook a 65 mile pilgrimage along St Cuthbert's Way. This was a serious physical challenge but one which they all overcame with personal determination and the support of the group.
It was also a spiritual challenge with regular Mass and prayer and a daily session reflecting on the story of St. Cuthbert and the presence of God in their lives. Everyone had a great time and the highlights included walking the Pilgrim's Path across the sand, hide and seek in Wooler, praying round the camp fire on Holy Island and Jane!

At the end of May, 14 Young people lived in a self-built refugee camp for the weekend, experiencing some of what it is like to be poor and marginalised. Eating nothing but 2 meals of lentils each day and having no access to the TV, video games or mobile phones proved to be a real challenge but one they rose to impressively. The experience was deepened through Bible studies led by the young people themselves reflecting on God's relationship with the poor. The event was also very well supported by adults from the parishes who supervised over the whole weekend and cooked breakfast on Sunday morning!
