On Friday there was a special anniversary Mass celebrated in Knock with 3,000 students attending from all over the country, which was broadcast on RTE on Sunday morning.
Then on Saturday in Tralee there was a music day held in The Mall with around 30 acts taking part to raise funds for the Donal Walsh Livelife Foundation and Tralee RFC.
