Curragha Green Kilometre SchemeThe 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.

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.

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 |
