history
24:7 Youth Ministry evolved from a number of initiatives working with youth from within the Disciples of Jesus Covenant Community. A courageous decision to employ youth ministers Megan Proud and Martin Thorsen in 2003, saw the establishment of 24.7 which operated out of Aranmore and Sacred Heart Catholic Colleges on a weekly basis.
In 2004 the ministry moved into the Howe Street, Osborne Park premises (the home of Disciples of Jesus Covenant Community) which brought about a new era of a weekly Friday night youth group. Thanks to the efforts of successive Youth Directors Steve Proud and Mike Sandrini hundreds of teenagers have been ministered to and served.
24:7 Youth Ministry today continues to evolve and now encompasses parish and college youth groups. Combining with the work of the Youth Mission Team, 24:7 School Ministry and Acts 2 College of Mission and Evangelisation, 24:7 Youth Ministry seeks to form young people in the mind of God.
