Confirmation and Communion 2021

 October is not the usual month for celebrating First Communions and Confirmations but then 2021 has not been a usual year.

Congratulations to last year's Fifth and Sixth Class who received the sacrament of Confirmation in the Church of the Assumption on Sunday, October 3rd. Due to restrictions on numbers in the church, Our Lady's NS had a ceremony all to ourselves which made for a lovely intimate occasion. Thankfully  Archbishop Kieran O'Reilly was there to confirm the children made the occasion all the more special.

On the following Sunday our Third Class students took centre stage as they made their First Communion. Fr Quirke celebrated the Mass and our thanks go to him for all that he does for the children of our parish.

My Big Day - by Jack Carroll

On Saturday morning I woke up early got in the cows. 

Neddy Donovan, Grandad's friend and mine, is a big dealer. He brought 5 calves into the mart and we brought 6.

It was Show and Sale Day and there were about 5000or more cattle and calves there. We went and got our breakfast with Sean's older brother Daniel and Neddy. Then I was with Danny watching it and looking at the cows and calves. The show was so big.

When Grandad heard that he had won first place he was full of joy and I was as well. So was Daniel. We got a trophy and a rosette. That was my best day.
