The youth department of Derry and Raphoe diocese is called DRY (Derry and Raphoe Youth). We are blessed to have some incredibly talented, committed and resourceful clergy and volunteers who ensure that young people are kept as a top priority in parish life. It is our aim to assist, encourage and equip them in whatever way is useful and which brings glory to God.

Through events, training, retreats, bible study and opportunities for mission, DRY aims to partner with the local church in their efforts to reach young people with the life changing message of Jesus.
