TEEN SPIRIT II!

Following the huge success of Teen SpiriT I in the INEC Killarney in April 2009, Teen SpiriT II was back with a brand new show in the INEC in April 2010.

New music, new dancers, a powerful drama and visual imagery - Teen SpiriT II brought all that was loved about the original show to a whole new level!

Combining popular chart music from artists such as Coldplay, Beyonce, Michael Buble as well as hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, Teen SpiriT II also showcased some of the newest Christian music. These songs explore our relationship to God and how He values us and loves us. The songs are really edgy and are just like chart music. They address issues such as peer pressure, poor self image, being afraid, and how experiencing the love of God is the solution to so many of the damaging issues that young people face today. These songs are really teen friendly but are suitable for all ages because they address universal issues like who we are, what is our value, what’s the meaning to life and how do we cope with the challenges of life.

“The Teen SpiriT concert is a great initiative that has brought so many young people together from the diocese to celebrate their faith and talents through modern songs and music. The show promotes a healthy and positive outlook on life and also looks at the Christian faith in a teen-friendly way. Young and old have described the show as an inspiration and I recommend that schools do not miss out on the opportunity to see it.”

Bishop Bill Murphy, Diocese of Kerry

“The standard on the occasion of the Teen SpiriT concert in the INEC, Killarney last April, wowed us all. For the youngsters it was clearly an extraordinary lived experience. How lovely to see them enjoying faith, feeling its celebration in their being – cerebral faith! It was also great for them to meet with other young people from Kerry parishes and celebrate with them, peer ministry in the fullest sense. The energy of their music and song and rhythm was infectious that night. Congratulations and thanks to all involved. Please continue this wonderful ministry and ‘Go, tell it on the mountains, over the hills and everywhere !!!!’”

Canon Gerard Casey, P.P, V.F, Doneraile.
