Soul week workshops

'A Week of Soul' is the theme of a parish youth project planned to take place in early February.

It will involve workshops run by the Dublin Gospel Choir and is aimed at young people in Kilcullen from 6th Class primary through the second level.

"The choir comes down and works with the various age groups in terms of Gospel music," says Hannah Evans, KIlcullen Parish's pastoral worker. "There's also an element of faith in the project too, with the choir's chaplain, Richard Hendrick, conducting part of the project as a form of retreat, and we'll also have other people to discuss faith and testimony with the youngsters."

The choir will also be working with the Family Mass Group and the Kilcullen Youth Choir.
