From July 23rd-26th there is an opportunity to get plugged in and switched on with the Knock Youth Festival, this years theme being You are the Light of the World. When you think of Knock it may be the older generation that springs to mind; this festival, for 18-35 year olds offers something different- there will be discussions on life, love, justice and faith; hip hop, mind body meditation and pottery workshops and chill out options available over the weekend.
‘I would certainly agree that young people are the future of the church because they have idealism to bring about change not only in our Church but also in our society’ said Fr.Peter Mc Verry, SJ who will be one of the speakers at the Festival. So if you would like to meet others from Galway and beyond who would also like to be part of that change or you would like an opportunity to explore what faith means to you in a relaxed environment, contact Fr Barry Horan - Mobile No 086 024 5241 or email -bhgalway@gmail.com to hear details of festival. The total cost for the weekend, including meals, is €70.
