'Faith Fest 2013: Celebrating Faith in Ossory' will take place on the weekend of May 10-12 in St Kieran’s College, Kilkenny. 

Organised by Ossory Adult Faith Development, the festival will see a full range of workshops, talks and lectures,  as well as activities for young people and families such as sporting events, public speaking competitions, and tours of local historic churches.

Parishes and organisations in Ossory diocese will also be represented over the weekend with stalls and expo on Saturday from 10am to 6pm and Sunday from 2pm to 6pm, which will provide an opportunity to highlight their work.

“We have a proud faith heritage here in Ossory and we are blessed to have so much good going on in our parishes. It is good that we celebrate it in a positive manner,” organisers said.

To launch Faith Fest 2013 a concert will be held in St Mary’s Cathedral, Kilkenny, on Friday, May 10, featuring Liam Lawton with special guests the Unity Singers.
