HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After being away for three years due to the pandemic, the Ulster Project will return to Hutchinson in July of 2023.
The project brings Catholic and Protestant youth from both Hutchinson and Portadown, Northern Ireland together to find common ground and build fellowship. The Ulster Project was started in 1975 by Rev. Kerry Waterstone, a priest in Northern Ireland, in order to provide a safe place in North America for Northern Irish teenagers to discuss the climate of “The Troubles” that was facing them at home.
A meeting for potential teens and families is scheduled for Sunday Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church at 201 E. Sherman. The meeting is for parents and students who are currently freshman through juniors.
Applications are currently available and must be in by Nov. 3 with interviews happening shortly after.
