To celebrate the Year of Faith the Diocese of Ossory is organising a
festival next month to discuss the Faith and highlight services that are
available in the diocese.
'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.
