Creative genius
Awakening 2017 was a celebration of modern church and contemporary music, which showcased the musical and creative genius of the young people, while also raising funds for Pieta House.
The MC for the night was Fr John Kenny, PP of Partry, and the musical directors were Mrs Siobhan Shaughnessy and Ms Ita Cunningham, both teachers in Presentation College, Headford. The gymnastic group ‘The Tuam All Stars’ also took part in movement and dance to two pieces on the night.
