Our Youth

Youth Club

The Our Lady and St Edmund of Abingdon Youth Group meets weekly in term time to provide young people aged between 12 and 18 within the Parish with an opportunity to socialise together and develop their faith development.

Meetings take place in the Parish Centre every Sunday during term time between 19.45pm – 21.30pm and normally feature a specific planned activity.

Recent and past activities have included pancake races, a gladiator style jousting competition, a theatrical performance, treasure hunts and quizzes, with much more planned for the year.

There is also a more serious side to the club with debates, fundraising for local charities, and ongoing activities aimed at developing the youth’s relationship with God.

For more information contact the Parish Office on 01235 559754.

St Edmund’s Football Club

The Football Club was formed in 1980 at the request of the Parish Priest at the time, Canon John Crozier, to provide facilities for boys in the Parish to learn to play football in a friendly but disciplined way.

The club has steadily expanded and now runs teams for boys aged from 6-16 years and for girls aged from 9-13 years. Girls under 9 years can join the boys’ under 7, under 8 or under 9 teams. Any children interested in joining should get in touch with the Club Secretary – Geoff Young – via the Parish Office on 01235 559754.
