The Big April Ask is a national survey prepared by Youth Leaders throughout Ireland. It needs to be completed by the end of April 2017. The Diocese is are inviting young people to complete this.  It will take 2 minutes to complete and the answers will be seen by Pope Francis himself because he wants to know what you think’.

If you are aged between 16 and 29 then please take two minutes to complete the survey by clicking the link here: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/bigaprilask

If you are not between 16 & 29, then please share this invitation widely and encourage young people to have their voices heard in this conversation.

Parishes, schools and parents: Let’s not miss an opportunity to be part of an international catholic conversation on young people and faith – let’s have the opinions and experiences of young people of our diocese alive and engaged in this moment!

The Diocese will also organise some consultative events over the coming weeks which will be announced soon.
