Upcoming NYMO events
We are pleased to announce our annual Diocesan BLAZE event for 2020 is going online!
Confirmation is a major milestone in the life of a Catholic, and it is important this moment is marked appropriately for our young people.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we had to postpone our May BLAZE event, so for 2020 NYMO are taking BLAZE online, enabling our young people who are due to be confirmed this year to come together in an environment of fellowship and sharing, as they prepare to be confirmed in their Catholic faith.
We realise that some young people may have already received Confirmation this year, whilst some are expecting to receive the Sacrament in the coming weeks. Others may be waiting until next year. They are all still welcome to attend BLAZE Online with us, as we celebrate this important step.
BLAZE Online will run from 11am-3pm, on Saturday 17th October 2020. There will be times of prayer, worship, fun and faith formation, and there will also be a live Q+A session with Bishop David, offering the Confirmandi the option to send in their questions online for the Bishop to answer. Mass will be celebrated at 6pm for the Confirmandi and they will be very welcome to join online via https://northamptondiocese.org/live/ .
All online content will be shared via our website (nymo.org) and YouTube (luxnymo) with some break time fun happening on our Instagram Stories (luxnymo).
After the morning talk, parishes will be invited to host an optional small group discussion using Zoom.
Please DO let us know if you will be joining us on Saturday 17th October 2020 for BLAZE Online. Please ensure though that you send out this information to your Confirmandi as soon as possible so they can keep the date free. It would be great to have you all join us.
If you have questions or for more information on Blaze 2020, please contact fiona@nymo.org
Meet the Hosts!
“Hey! For anyone who doesn’t know me, my name is Fr Brendan Seery and I currently have the privilege of ministering in the town of Milton Keynes, famous for its shopping centre and roundabouts. When I’m not in Milton Keynes, I can normally be found in Belgium studying and eating calorie free cakes!
I am a massive tea addict who spends most of my day helping people get to know Jesus and become the incredible Saint that God has created them to be!
I absolutely love travelling since, in the words of St Augustine, “The World is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page!”
Helloo :),
My name is Jennifer and during term time you will find me teaching in a Catholic Secondary school.
I love to hang out with loved ones, sing, dance, read, go on hikes, eat, sleep and watch films.
Super excited about Blaze this year and meeting all of the confirmation candidates!
Meet our Speaker!
Hi. I’m really looking forward to being with you all this year and will be speaking to you live from the NYMO TV studio!
I love to share my faith with others – so much so I recently became a deacon! I am married with 4 children and am a Lay Chaplain in a secondary school.
This month I ran a marathon to raise money for a young lady at my school who is battling cancer and managed to complete the run in the pouring rain in just over 3 and half hours!
I will be speaking to us about the Holy Spirit and my own faith journey and can’t wait to meet you guys!
