On the 23rd April fifth and sixth class were confirmed in St. James Church by Fr. Joseph Caulfield. In preparation for this day Fr. Maloney visited our school in March. We also had a class visit to Ballintubber Abbey for a retreat.
The church was looking lovely on the day as the children had designed their own doves and had painted pictures relating to stories told on the retreat day. All of the children were involved in a ceremony that was enhanced by the beautiful singing of Third and Fourth Class who provided the choir on the day. Fifth and sixth also performed a lovely action prayer with the help of Miss O' Reilly and Mrs. Niland.
