Catholic youth group Youth 2000 is “delighted and really excited” to be welcoming young Catholics back to their first major in-person event since March 2020, National Administrator for the group, Emma Maloney told this paper.
Ms Maloney said the pandemic made it “very hard for single Catholics for the last two years to get out and socialise and potentially meet their spouse.
“The Youth 2000 ball is a wonderful opportunity to get out and meet new people,” she said.
“I know a few people who have met at the Youth 2000 ball and are now married.”
Tickets have been selling “really, really well”, she said, with the Armagh City Hotel “booked out” as a result of the February 19 event.
Tickets remain on sale for another week. The cost is €55 per ticket, with more information available at www.youth2000.ie. The Valentine’s ball is strictly over 18s.
