OVER 300 post-primary students from across the Diocese of Kerry gathered for a celebration day in the Brandon Hotel.
Fifteen schools were represented, including Presentation Secondary and CBS The Green form Tralee, to participate in ‘Ceiliúradh na nÓg.’
The purpose of this initiative is to develop the faith life of Transition and Fifth year students. This was achieved through school or parish based initiatives. Ceiliúradh na nÓg forms part of a comprehensive approach to Youth Ministry initiated by the Diocese of Kerry.
