Curragha Green Kilometre Scheme

The scheme invites communities to choose approximately a kilometre stretch of road/loop in their area. The group then commits to maintaining the chosen stretch over the course of the year. 
​
Well done to our students Daisy, Liam and Rachel who helped out with the first Saturday morning clean up of Curragha. We would encourage families to join in the initiative in the coming weeks to help keep our community clean.

The next clean will be on Saturday 13th of March at 10.30am. Group will meet at the church/school car park.

Catholic Schools Week 2021
​Theme - 
‘Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith and Resilience’.

Friday's Thought for the Day

As Catholic Schools Week comes to a close, we are asked to think about our school as a Community of Hope. We are all children of God, called to live like Jesus asked us. This year we will continue to make this school a loving place where everyone feels safe, welcome and cared for. We live in the hope that Jesus has shown us the way to live and we can hope to create a future where all people can know God’s love. We can do this through our kind thoughts, kind words and kind actions. Lord, help us to live like you taught us to. Together we pray the prayer that Jesus taught us: Our Father...
Prayer for Grandparents
​
As it is likely that grandparents may watch Mass being streamed on the internet during Catholic Schools Week, it would be appropriate to offer a prayer for all grandparents, cherishing their contribution to the lives of their grandchildren. Pope Benedict XVI offered this prayer for grandparents:


Lord Jesus, you were born of the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over.
Protect them! They are a source of enrichment
for families, for the Church and for all of society.
Support them! As they grow older,
may they continue to be for their families
strong pillars of gospel faith,
guardian of noble domestic ideals,
living treasuries of sound religious traditions.
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
that they may pass on to future generations the fruits
of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Amen
