The Knock Youth Festival opens today on the theme 'Walk by Faith'.

IN A thoughtful homily closing the Knock Youth Festival last weekend, Bishop Donal McKeown of Down and Connor said: “People are dying from a lack of love, a lack of identity and from a sense that the world is meaningless — or at least that their lives have no real meaning.”

AT least six children were treated for hypothermia during the annual pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick yesterday.
