Youth Outreach

An Tobar Nua has been working with Irish secondary schools (equivalent to US grades 7-12) through day retreats hosted at An Tobar Nua and in secondary schools around the country.

Retreats focus on developing the student's overall well-being and encouraging faith in an interactive and lively manner. We aim to inspire young people to discover meaning, value and purpose in their lives through sharing the Hope of Christ.

Our retreats line up with statewide school initiatives and focus on faith, social media, ethics, friendships, and other relevant topics. In addition to sharing the Hope of Christ, we aim to provide thoughtful and practical wisdom on how to live a flourishing life.
