"Glenbeag Youth Club runs activities for girls from 4th class to 6th year. The Club is split into three levels: the Junior Club is located in Milltown and the Senior Clubs are located in Donnybrook.

The Club does much more than just keep the girls busy. Through the various activities they develop a wide range of skills and aptitudes: human, cultural and spiritual development. Through the pastoral care programme they grow in character and develop Christian virtues. The commitment of Club leaders and parental support are key elements in the success of the Club. Pastoral care of the Youth Club is entrusted to Opus Dei.

Responsibility for spiritual and doctrinal formation offered in Glenbeag is entrusted to Opus Dei, a personal Prelature of the Catholic Church founded in 1928 by St. Josemaria Escriva (1902-1975; he was canonised in Rome in 2002). Opus Dei undertakes to guarantee the Christian orientation of all the activities run in Glenbeag. Responsibility for all other matters (organisational, financial, legal, etc.) lies with the Club management team.

Within the Club there are three club levels depending on the age or class/year of the girl.

Glenbeag (Milltown) holds activities on Saturdays at 2.30pm-5.30pm for girls in 4th-6th Class.
Carraigburn (Donnybrook) holds activities for all secondary school girls. Study facilities are available to all secondary school girls from Monday-Friday (4pm-6pm) and Saturday (12-6pm). Activities are held on Thursdays for 1st years (4pm-8pm) and Fridays for 2nd years and upwards (6-9pm). There are also weekends away organised for girls from Dublin and from others parts of country.

If you are thinking of participating in any of the activities or would like to help out in any way, you can find out more information by contacting us directly."

It is an amazingly wonderful way to help the young people! The Philippines has its own girls clubs. There is one we just started a couple of years ago, The Daffodils Girls Club which has for its regular venue, a house at Valle Verde, Pasig City in Metro Manila. The girls, aged 5 to 11, meet every Saturday; the 1st Saturdays of every month are devoted to a brief meditation and confession at the Balanghai Study Center, not very far from the Club venue. The rest of the Saturdays, 9:30 to 11:30 A.M. are spent doing arts and crafts, cooking/baking with the girls, playing indoor and outdoor games with them and a short class on Catechism and virtues. We hope to be able to bring the girls out this summer to a campsite where they can experience a little of the rural life and have some bonding activities together.
Wishing your Club more success! yollie leon
