Internship Opportunity at Notre Dame de France
At Notre Dame de France Church, London
Sept 2012 – July 2013 (Part time)
The Marist community in London would like to welcome a young adult for a time of internship, to share in the mission of the vibrant inner-city parish of Notre Dame de France. The internship offers an intensive experience working with a multi-cultural community in the heart of London. It gives opportunity to develop further your skills in project management, organising events, delivering service to the marginalised and in various other creative areas, working in collaboration with others in the parish, to build God’s Kingdom.
Practical details: Accommodation is provided, any interested young person will have to pay a small rent. (S)he is invited to share a certain community life-style within the “Notre Dame de Village”, which includes Marist Fathers & Sisters, and lay people, men and women: prayer, celebrations, fortnightly common meals. It would suit a student or young professional working in London – who is able to dedicate time to the mission of Notre Dame de France.
The experience includes especially the following areas:
Evangelisation: working together with different groups of the parish in new forms of evangelization in the West End of London, in association with other local Catholic parishes.
Marginalised: weekly sandwich service and helping in a seasonal ecumenical venture in offering overnight accommodation to the homeless. Working with refugees.
