THERE'S MORE!
Check out our awesome videos for youth & kids
(although big kids will probably enjoy them too...)
For Youth:
Join Stee as he interviews people on the streets of Kildare in search for that one word which will sum up Christmas. While there are many descriptions and words that can be used, this video unpacks the amazing message of JOY that the true story of Christmas can offer to everyone.
We have partnered with our friends at SU Ireland who have produced an incredible 3 part series called NUA: Christmas. You can also download the PDFs and the videos to use in your classroom.
01
Episode 1: The Origins of Christmas
02
Episode 2: The Unexpected Christmas
03
Episode 3: The Meaning of Christmas
For Kids:
Join us as we journey with Elfie to help her find the ultimate Christmas selfie.
We’ll meet Snowman, Reindeer, Santa, Donkey and Angel along the way, who help to find all that’s needed to create the greatest Christmas selfie and discover who it is that makes Christmas truly incredible.
