Muiredach Cross Pupil Enrolment Form
What is The Muiredach Cross Award?
The Muiredach Cross Award is a new faith development award of the Archdiocese of Armagh. Its primary aim is to create opportunities for our young people to put their faith into action. and to celebrate the excellent work currently being done throughout our schools and parishes. By developing their leadership skills we hope to enable our young people to become a positive influence on the spirit or ethos of their school, their parish/community. The Award will provide a solid platform for those who in later years may go on to take the Pope John Paul II Award.
