Bishop Mark Jabale set up the Youth Service in July 2001, with the appointment of Fr Teyrnon Williams as the Director of Youth Development. In this sense, Menevia Youth is still in its infancy. The specific aim of Menevia Youth is the provision of a 'holistic educational service to young people which is informal and voluntary in which their every concern is explored and examined within the context of the Gospel of Christ and the teaching of the Church.'
