The JPII Award aims to support and celebrate the commitment\nand enthusiasm of young people who are already actively involved in their church\nand in their local communities and invite them to reflect on their involvement.\nIt also encourages young people, who are not already involved, to become involved\nand to receive the benefits that come from living out their faith in a real and\ntangible way. The Award should indeed make them realise how important they are in\ntheir community and parish. It should bring hope and renewed life to those members\nof our faith community who may be feeling fearful about the future of our Church\nand finally it gives our clergy the opportunity to further develop their work with\nyoung people.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n
