Through various fun activities such as art workshops, circus schools, cookery and much more we hope that our young people will learn and experience that faith relates to all parts of life. The activities encourage everyone to have fun, to be adventurous, experience new ways of praying and to grow in faith together. GIFT will be offered to Year 8 pupils from the parish of Aghagallon and Ballinderry and will run in Aghagallon Community Centre on Monday evenings 7pm-9pm starting the 23rd January to 27th February 2017.
