Youth 2000 invites you to join them for their Summer Festival from 12-15 August 2010 in Clonmacnois, County Offaly.  The dynamic weekend programme for 16-35 year olds includes music, drama, prayer, talks, workshops, reconciliation and healing service, games and chill time.  The festival will be held along the banks of the river Shannon near the historic monastic ruins of Clonmacnois.   It is a donation only weekend and all you need to bring is a sleeping bag.  Why not take time out this summer to discover more about your faith in an atmosphere of fun and friendship.  Reflecting on his visit to the ruins at Clonmacnois in 1979, Pope John Paul II said “These ruins are still charged with a great mission. They still constitute a challenge…”  Are you ready to take up the challenge and come along for a fantastic weekend filled with new experiences and many opportunities to meet new people.  The key note speaker for the weekend will be Fr Larry Richards from Pennsylvania, USA.  Fr Larry is a gifted and captivating speaker who has inspired thousands of young people worldwide.  He is founder and director of ‘The reason for our Hope Foundation’.  Fr Larry’s humour and enthusiasm will add great zest to an already packed programme. There will be free transport available, for pick-up points near you and for more information check out www.youth2000.ie or contact the National Office 016753690 for N.I. 07514820572
