Great fun at annual Connor Takes the Castle!
Around 120 young people from parishes across Connor Diocese enthusiastically joined in the fun at the annual Connor Takes the Castle youth residential, held in Castlewellan from October 6–8.
Some young people attending from Friday to Sunday and other groups joined for a full, action–packed day on Saturday.
And during the afternoon, it was all about action with a laser tag arena from The Fun House, and volleyball, tug–of–war and lots more energetic games organised by Salf Factory Sports in the wide–open space beside Castlewellan Lake.
The impressive Castlewellan Castle was the venue for the weekend’s indoor events, which included games, challenges, and inspirational words from guest speakers Millie and Lawrence Bellew. Lawrence is young people and community pastor at Hope Church, Craigavon and Millie is Down and Dromore Diocesan Children’s Development Officer.
Well done to Connor Youth Officer Christina Baillie, the Rev Danielle McCullough, Chair of Connor Youth Council, all the dedicated leaders and, of course, the young people, for making it a fantastic weekend!
