Sacrament of Confirmation

Thu 27 Apr 2023

Congratulations to all the children in Primary 7 who made their Confirmation this morning in St Mary’s Church, Dunsford. It was a beautiful ceremony and the children were absolutely fantastic throughout.

They have worked so hard in preparation for today and this was apparent in their responses throughout the service, in their readings and in their knowledge of the Sacrament.

Many thanks to everyone who made this day possible. We specifically thank Fr McCloskey for a very special service, class teacher Miss Pell, our wonderful school choir led by Mrs McGrath, Mrs Clarke for the beautiful floral arrangements in the Church, Sean McAlea for helping prepare the chapel for the service and Mrs McConville for the beautiful Confirmation cake.

Many thanks also to Mrs C Mullan and Mrs Hanna for preparing our displays and presenting the children's work so well.

We would also like to thank our families and sponsors who have helped the children enormously in their preparations for today, the Catechists in the Come Follow Me Team who have worked with the children over a number of years and all the other staff in school who helped out in many different ways to prepare the children for their special day.

We hope you all enjoyed this morning and have a fantastic day celebrating with family and friends.

Well done boys and girls the whole school is so proud you.

Our Easter fundraising events, organised by our School Council were a huge success with councillors coordinating and planning a number of events over the Lenten period.

The School Council organised an Easter Raffle, Trocaire Bun Sale & Guess the Mini Eggs in a jar. There was great excitement today as our Raffle took place at our special Easter Assembly with over £700 being raised through events organised and led by the Council.

This was a truly amazing effort from everyone in our school community and we would like to thank everyone for their generous support and kindness.

All proceeds from our Easter fundraising efforts are being donated to Trocaire.
