Every year the Cork Diocesan Youth Council (CDYC) runs an Easter event called Sun-Up in Rosscarbery. On Saturday the 20th April at 4pm, the youth gathered in Rosscarbery hall.

Introductions were made and the group set off soon after for a round of crazy golf and a run in the maze at Rosscarbery Crazy Golf and Driving Range. This year, the Range provided food, so everyone was fed and watered before heading back to the hall for games, activities and a movie.

There were a few different activities and challenges throughout the evening. The first challenge was for the group had to create a meter long, hands free device out of newspaper, tape and straws. The object of the activity was to transport an egg from one end of it to next without touching it. There were some creations built and a few smashed eggs but every group produced a satisfactory model.

The second activity was to create a Cross out of timber, nails (tacs) and string. Some amazing creations came out of this exercise.
On Easter morning, 21st April, the group headed to the Warren Beach to be part of the 6.30am Eucharist Service led by the Very Reverend Christopher Peters, Dean of Ross. The Rev. Kingsley Sutton, Rector of Kilgariffe, was also there with his guitar to help out with the music.
