Armagh to launch spiritfest

The details of a Summer Festival of Prayer to take place in Armagh City next year were recently unveiled by Cardinal Seán Brady.

Spiritfest 2011 is the first ever large-scale conference to take place in the Archdiocese of Armagh and will be a precursor to the World Youth Day in Madrid next August and the Eucharistic Congress which takes place in Dublin in 2012.

The festival will take from Friday July 1 - Sunday July 3 2011 in St Catherine's College, Armagh with a thousand places available.

The purpose of Spiritfest is to encourage people to deepen their relationship with Christ, and participants will have an opportunity to attend two out of a possible three keynote addresses, choose two out of 64 workshops and join in a celebration of prayer and music in St Patrick's Cathedral with The Priests.

Tickets for Spiritfest are now available online from www.spiritfestarmagh.com
