The Diocese of Cork and Ross was delighted to host the highly successful Maranatha 2025 event, held in a packed City Hall this March.

Students from over 20 post-primary schools across the Diocese took part in what marked the first of an annual celebration of music, faith and community.

Maranatha was created to bring young people together to celebrate faith and identity through music and have fun at the same time, offering a full day of activities and connection before culminating in the evening concert.

The energy and enthusiasm of the students made the inaugural event a memorable occasion — and plans are already in place for its return on Thursday, 26th February 2026.
