TY Trip to Knock

May 7, 2026

Our TY students joined more than 2,500 students from secondary schools across the country for an interactive and reflective day at Knock Shrine. The event took place in remembrance of Donal Walsh, the Kerry teenager who passed away 13 years ago after a courageous battle with cancer. His message to “live life to the fullest” continues to impact young people today.

The programme included inspiring talks, time to explore the shrine and museum, opportunities for reflection and prayer, and the celebration of the Eucharist with Bishop Brendan Leahy.

Students actively participated throughout the day and positively embraced the experience.
