The Catholic Church in Scotland has introduced a unique new youth award to commemorate the visit to Scotland by Pope Benedict XVI in September 2010. The inaugural Pope Benedict XVI Caritas Award will be given to 450 young people from all over Scotland at a lavish ceremony to be held in the Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow on Saturday 2 June 2012 at 2pm.

Two posthumous awards will be presented to Reamonn Gormley a pupil at John Ogilvie High School, Hamilton who died in February 2011, the victim of a violent crime, and Joseph Wilson, a pupil of Taylor High School in Motherwell, who died unexpectedly in December 2011. The posthumous awards will be presented to the parents of both boys.
