Friends of Castlerigg for Parishes.
Bring your whole parish into the heart of our ministry with young people and journey alongside us.
A parish partnership
Stand with the next generation, together.
More than 3,000 young people come through Castlerigg Manor each year. Most of those aren't connected with their local parishes and we are trying hard to change that. We're thinking of ways to draw closer to parishes and this is one. We are taking the Friends of Castlerigg scheme and adding a parish version.
When you join the scheme your parish and parishioners are drawn into the life of Castlerigg — in prayer, in news, in fellowship, and in the chance to come and stay in the Lakes.
What your parish receives
Four ways we stay connected.
Every parish Friend shares in all four, month after month.
The monthly Rosary
An open invitation for anyone in your parish to join the monthly Friends of Castlerigg Rosary — praying together for our young people and your community.
The monthly newsletter
Our Friends of Castlerigg newsletter, sent to the parish each month — and to any parishioners who give us their details, straight to their own inbox.
The walk & BBQ
An invitation for any of your parishioners to join our annual Friends walk in the fells and our summer barbecue together at the Manor.
20% off hostel stays
A standing 20% discount for any of your parishioners on hostel stays at Castlerigg Manor — a base for families, groups and pilgrims in the Lakes.
Become a parish Friend
One monthly gift that opens all four to everyone in your community — at a rate that fits the size of your parish.
