After a talk from Marie Burke about the Pope John Paul II Awards, 11 students decided to do the award. There are two different aspects to the awards, social awareness and parish involvement.
After a meeting with the parish priest and Marie and the other participants from the parish we all got jobs to do. I had to sing every Sunday for 20 weeks in order to get the Gold award. I had to coach my local u10 team also. During the twenty weeks we did different jobs in the church.
To finish off the experience of the awards. We organised a Youth Mass in Tynagh for April 22nd. All the people doing the John Paul II awards participated in it. It marked youth in the catholic community.
