On Tuesday the 21st of September, we celebrated our annual school mass to mark the beginning of the academic year. We were delighted to bring a total of 70 students, representing each year group. Those staff and students who remained in school were able to participate via the parish webcam.

Fr. Robert Young celebrated the Eucharist, which had as its theme "Trust in God". Though we had no choir, the solo singers and musicians sang and played beautifully, thanks to Ms Brid Kearney and Ms Sinead Brennan.

It was also an opportunity for the whole school to hear our new Head Girl and Boy, Alice O' Callaghan and Louis Allman, who delivered the welcome at the start of the mass. Management was represented by Deputy Principals Ms O' Brien and Ms Sheehan, and our Principal, Mr. Fergal McCarthy, who expressed our gratitude at being able to celebrate together.

A big thank you to all students who attended so respectfully, especially those students who read and participated in the procession. And a huge thanks to Fr. Robert, Richard the Sacristan, and the Ministers of the Eucharist who gave of their free time so willingly.
