The committee thought it might be easier for 3rd class parents to run Communion teas for 2nd clas,s having experienced it the previous year.

It can be a daunting experience for 1st class parents, many of whom have don’t have older girls in the school.

It was put to the vote at the last PA meeting, Tue Feb 2nd and the change was voted in by a majority.

A flyer will go out to 3rd class parents closer to the time. If you helped out last time then perhaps another parent can volunteer this year? We hope that all parents will get involved in some way, either on the day or by baking or bringing some cakes to school.

This years Communion will be held on May 21st and Communion teas will be in the Halla. Due to Confirmation being on a school day, Confirmation teas will continue in The Crypt of the Church.

We made 411 Euro on this coin collection.

Thank you for all your donations and to all the volunteers who helped count and bag the money.
