Dublin, Ireland has been chosen by Pope Francis to host the next World Meeting of Families from 21st to 26th August 2018, guided by the theme 'The Gospel of the Family: Joy to the World'. Held every three years, this major international event brings together families from across the world to celebrate, pray and reflect upon the central importance of marriage and the family as the cornerstone of our lives, of society and of the church.
The organisers require several thousand volunteers for the event. If you are interested in being part of this historic event as a volunteer, Madeleine Frissung, the Volunteer Outreach Co-ordinator for World Meeting of Families, will be holding an information session in Ardmore Parish Centre, Derry on Saturday 24th February 2018 starting at 10am.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, there will be an opportunity on the day to complete the required Garda vetting paperwork and other documentation.
