Our Greatest Need
If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator;
If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist;
If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist;
If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer;
But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Saviour.

Summer Youth Festival @ Knock with Youth 2000
This will take place from Thurs 27th July to Sun 30th July. This Festival is a joint effort of Youth 2000 & Knock Youth Ministry.
This Festival will include talks, prayer, sharing, fun & games, and promises to be a great opportunity for young people from all around Ireland to explore their Catholic faith and make many new friends.
Youth 2000 is an organisation of young people (aged 15 - 35) who work to spread the good news of the Catholic faith throughout Ireland. It is one of the New Movements in the Church referred to and welcomed in recent years by the late Pope John Paul. Youth 2000 runs regular weekend residential retreats for 15 - 35 year olds as well as prayer groups, school retreats and parish missions.
There is no charge for the festival - donations only. Special buses available from some locations - just bring a sleeping bag.
Contact Ann at 094-9388100 or Catríona at 01-6753690
