Water zorbing, tag archery and an obstacle course will be among the activities for the family at the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly’s family fun day this weekend.
Parishes from all across the diocese are invited to the April 29 event, which is built around the theme ‘We are family’ and is part of the diocesan preparations for World Meeting of Families 2018, being held in Dublin this August.
Other activities at Tipperary Racecourse on the day will range from a mobile farm for younger children to an exhibition of the ‘Fruits of the Family’ art project that has been promoted through the dioceses’ primary schools, and will feature such aspects of diocesan life as the John Paul II Awards, eco-spirituality groups, cell groups, and more traditional groups such as Trócaire, the Society of St Vincent de Paul, and the Legion of Mary.
A youth walk on the day for those aged over 16 will start at the racecourse and finish at the Tipperary Famine Graveyard in time for a Family Liturgy which will be led by youth choirs from around the diocese.
