TEENAGERS from Mount Carmel RC High School in Accrington went to an annual youth concert held at Wembley Arena.
Flame, which is organised by the Catholic Youth Ministry Federation, was attended by 10,000 young people from across the UK and Norway.
The theme for this year was '10,000 reasons' with speakers, activities, singers, drama performances, a liturgy and a celebration taking place.
Students from years eight, nine and 11, who are representatives of the school’s Growing in Faith Together team, attended.
Cardinal Charles Bo spoke about Myanmar and volunteers from Catholic International Development Charity (CAFOD) told of their experiences helping refugees in Lebanon while RISE Theatre performed a short play about four people who had been forced out of their homes.
Other speakers included Sarah Teather from Jesuit Refugee Service UK, Fr Augusto Zampini Davies, a CAFOD priest who spoke about social justice and bringing change to the world.
Lay Chaplain Alana Murphy said: “Mount Carmel pupils were really inspired by the day."
