Cork’s City Hall was at capacity on Thursday night for the first Maranatha Concert in Cork
Young people from across the diocese – pupils of post-primary schools – formed a choir of 500 members to fill the venue with uplifting songs.
They had been rehearsing for months with the support of their teachers, chaplains, families and personnel of the diocese.
Earlier in the day, they attended workshops about their faith and heard testimonies from other young people.
Bishop Fintan Gavin praised and thanked the many people who had made it possible to have this event in Cork for the first time.
