World Youth Day 2011 may have come to an end but the task of sharing the joyful message from that immense gathering of youth in the Church is only beginning. Many young people from our parish, together with Fr O’Dwyer, joined with others from the Archdiocese of Armagh in travelling to Madrid to deepen their faith with thousands of Catholics from across the world. Among the rich sources of encouragement were the inspiring messages delivered by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.

May these words lead us to an ever closer union with Jesus Christ and His Church.
