Pope John Paul II Awards:  This award enables participants to take an active part in the life of their Church – in the life of their community and society.  It also enables young people become more aware of the teaching and role of the Catholic Church in the world and to engage at a deep level with Christ.  The Award was created to commemorate the late Pope Saint John Paul II who was so committed to young people and who had such belief and confidence in them.  It is my fervent wish, that the Pope John Paul II Award will provide the opportunities, the motivation and the support to our young people so that they can make their contribution to the life of their parish and this diocese.  I wish this initiative every blessing and success.  Bishop John Fleming

Awards starting in Crossmolina Parish soon.  Application Forms are available from the Parish Office/Sacrisity.
