Chaplaincy

We are the chaplaincy team for the YMCAs in Ireland. We have launched our new Chaplaincy Programme seeking to support our Dublin, Cork and Newcastle centres.

We are piloting a new training programme to place chaplains in three of our centres. We started training 6 participants this autumn with the sessions running through January. We hope to place the volunteer chaplains in the centres come January/February 2021 depending on pandemic restrictions.

We look forward to this new role helping to further support our staff, volunteers, young people, service users and local communities.
