rNeartú Conference – November 9th 2024
Neartú (strengthen) is an ecumenical conference organised by the Church of Ireland Board for Ministy with Children and Families.
Join us for a fantastic day in the beautiful surroundings of Mount Saint Annes Conference Centre, Portarlington for a time to strengthen yourself and your ministry.
We are so thrilled to welcome Rachel Turner as our Keynote speaker in the morning, as well as a host of experienced practitioners who will run a variety of workshops in the afternoon.

She lectures on leadership and intergenerational church at the Institute for Children, Youth and Mission(CYM) and St. Padarn’s Institute, and is the discipleship lead at Hope Church, Harrogate. She also consults and speaks internationally – and somehow has managed to carve out time to be with us!
