On the 2nd of December the annual John Paul 2nd Awards took place in Holy Family Church Askea. The awards enable young people to take an active role in their church and society. To achieve the gold award each recipient had to do 20 hours in their local church and 20 hours social work. An additional 6 hours was needed for the Papal Cross Awards. These activities took place over the course of the year and many of the recipients took part in youth ministry, local choirs and helped with general work in their parish. For the social side many volunteered in the local charity shops, such as the St. Vincent de Paul shop, and helped coach youth teams in their club. From Knockbeg College, James Osbourne , Oisín Brennan, Diarmuid Carolll, Cian Kelly and Martin Moloney received the gold award and Sam Dunne, Eoin Delaney and David Roche received the Papal Cross Award.
