The Diocese of Cork and Ross is preparing with young people for the first of what will become an annual music and faith-based day for post-primary school students across the city and county.
Almost 500 young people from more than 20 schools will participate in Maranatha 2025 at Cork City Hall on Thursday, 6th March. The event has been created to bring young people together to celebrate faith and identity through music and have fun at the same time.
The students will gather for a full day of activities before the Maranatha 2025 Concert that evening. In the morning there will be an engaging workshop that will touch on the fundamentals of faith and how they are loved by God. A full musical rehearsal will take place in City Hall in the afternoon, ahead of the evening concert which is open to the general public.
JOYOUS CELEBRATION
In preparation, post-primary schools throughout the diocese are engaging in workshops of liturgical and inspirational contemporary music.
Sheila Kelleher, Diocesan Co-ordinator for Youth Ministry, said the event is an opportunity to ‘engage’ with young people.
“The Diocese of Cork and Ross has always had a strong musical tradition. Maranatha is a way for us to harness that energy and come together to engage our young people with their faith in a meaningful and joyful way. We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone on March 6th for what is shaping up to be a joyous and wonderful celebration of our young people.”
Tickets for Maranatha are available to purchase via Eventbrite.ie
