Welcome to SPES:

A Digital Newsletter of Hope for Youth Ministry Leaders

Updates: Every Fortnight

We are delighted to introduce SPES, a subscription-based digital newsletter designed to support youth group leaders, confirmation catechists, and all those working with young people in schools and parishes within the Archdiocese of Port of Spain. The name Spes means “hope” in Latin, reflecting the newsletter’s purpose: to inspire, support, and equip ministry leaders as they guide the next generation of the Church.

“Spes” means hope, and that is exactly what we strive to offer. Whether you’re a youth group leader, a confirmation catechist, or someone working with young people in schools or parishes, SPES is here to help you enhance your ministry and strengthen your formation.

Each issue of SPES provides a wealth of in-person and virtual resources to enhance your ministry and deepen your formation. Subscribers will benefit from:
  • Practical tools to effectively engage youth and foster their faith.
  • Inspirational articles and reflections to strengthen your leadership.
  • Invitations to workshops, retreats, and training opportunities tailored to ministry leaders.
  • Updates on archdiocesan events and initiatives designed to support youth ministry.
Through SPES, you’ll find a wealth of resources carefully curated to meet the unique challenges of youth ministry today. From workshops and training opportunities to engaging articles, best practices, and recommended materials, SPES serves as your go-to source for inspiration and improvement.

Our goal is simple: to bring hope to our Catholic youth leaders by equipping them with the tools they need to foster faith, understanding, and community among the young people they serve. We believe that by supporting our leaders, we support the future of our Church.
