18th Feb 2026

This morning Fr Donnelly very kindly came to school for our Ash Wednesday prayer service to mark the beginning of Lent. Our P.7 pupils led the prayers of the faithful and then Fr Donnelly distributed ashes to all the pupils and staff. Today the children will be making their promises for Lent in class. Thank you Fr Donnelly.
