Hello, I am brand new to Chaplaincy and have just started as School Chaplain in a High School. I'm the only Chaplain in school so all on my lonesome! I thought I would introduce myself and say Hi. I was wondering also if anyone knows what the theme is for this year's National Youth Sunday as I am trying to begin preparations... I couldn't find any information on the Cymfed website for this year's theme. Any help would be massively appreciated. Thank you, Natalie

Hi Natalie, Welcome to Chaplaincy! I'm a secondary school Chaplain in Manchester and completely know the isolation of feeling like the lone ranger (until I started working in a chaplaincy team with my wife last year!)! I really hope that you can gather your staff around you and create a supportive chaplaincy team! The theme this year is Celebrating mercy and there's some info here, although the tool kit hasn't been uploaded yet: http://www.nationalyouthsunday.org.uk/ let us know how you're getting on Ric
