With every act of love you do today,
you weave one more golden thread in the blanket
that will warm you tomorrow.
Wishing all our Junior Cert and Leaving Cert students
the very best of luck in their exams.
We will keep you all in our prayers and masses each day.
Remember there is life after exams!
A big and warm Céad Míle Fáilte

and all who will join us for the bank holiday week-end.
Good to have each and every one of you….
Enjoy your stay and a safe journey home.
