New space needed for ICYM in Saint John
Inner City Youth Ministry is looking for new facility space in Saint John or the surrounding areas where we can safely store equipment and food, prepare for programs, and coordinate volunteers.
Saint John Inner City Youth Ministry was established in 1989 as a project of the Diocese of Fredericton and the Parish of Trinity Church to provide more effective ministry to the residents of the south end of Saint John. ICYM has since established an ever growing network of community partners and focuses heavily on family wellness, including the Lunch Connection which provides hundreds of school lunches each week. |

Yes, camping season is almost here!
