Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) is a five night Faith Development Programme designed for using with groups of young people after their confirmation – GIFT 1 for 1st years, GIFT 2   for 2nd years and GIFT 3  for 3rd years.   It is a parish based programme where young adults get an opportunity to share their experience with interested adults.  Two adults facilitate small group discussion and are prepared to do so by a training programme. 

Young People from Cavan Parish attending GIFT.

It is a follow-up to Faith Friends and 1st, 2nd and 3rd. year students at second level take part.   Again the training is important to help parents grow in confidence and skills in listening and communication.
