SURFERS Paradise parish youth co-ordinator Paul Edwards says a mix of fun and worship has boosted youth group numbers.
Paul said the high school-age youth group which meets every second Sunday evening after Mass had recently painted a new altar cloth for use during youth Masses.
He said the group was one of several which covered youth from about 12 years old through to their late 30s.
‘We have our coffee and chat nights every second Tuesday evening for the young adults and our social group which is for ages 18 and above, who get together with each other and also meet with similar groups in Brisbane.’
Paul said the youth Masses which began earlier this year and are held on the first Sunday of each month were also attracting young people from surrounding parishes.
