Animated by a team of experienced religious and lay youth leaders, SPYS seek to develop and implement a programme of holistic formation for young people. The whole thing started back in 1995 by developing programmes with a particular target group in a local area, but the constantly increasing demand for the programmes highlighted the need for a national dimension to this service. At the end of 1997, SPYS went online.

The Vision

With the two-fold aim of person building and community building, the Salesian Pastoral Youth Service accompanies young people towards the discovery of authentic life values. Through an optimistic view of life in the light of the Gospel, it seeks to develop and implement a programme of holistic Christian formation which enables the young to grow in friendship with the Lord and peace with the self and encourages them to reach out in a ministry to others.
