POPE JOHN PAUL II AWARD
This national award is a way for our young parishioners to play an active part in their local parish and communities.
It is especially useful for students entering TY or 5th Year, and we support these students in consultation with the school in achieving the Gold Award
Already we have a number of students who will be taking part in this award in the coming year in our parish, and would welcome any other students interested to contact Fr Michael. Further details are available on www.thepopejohnpauliiaward.com
