Archbishop Eamon Martin and Dean Colum Curry presented over 300 young people with the Muiredach Cross Award and the Pope John Paul II Award at the sixth annual Armagh Diocesan Faith Award Ceremony in St Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh.

The Muiredach Cross Award is aimed at the younger school students in the archdiocese as a solid foundation for when they are eligible for the Pope John Paul II Award.

As this is a special Jubilee Year of Mercy, the award committee incorporated the Cathedral Walk of Mercy into the ceremony, with a member of each participating school/parish completing the walk during the ceremony.
