• Sacrament of Reconciliation

  Wed 20 Mar 2024

  Our P3’s received the Sacrament of Reconciliation this afternoon in the Sacred Heart Church. Led by celebrant Canon Fleck, the boys and girls participated brilliantly in the service, contributing via song, music, drama and readings.

  Thank you goes to Mr McCartan for leading the class in their preparations and to our classroom assistants Mrs Orla Quinn, Mrs Betty Hogg and Mrs Ciara Stratton for their support. Gratitude is extended  to our school choir under the auspices of Mr Doyle along with Mr Paul Madden for their beautiful singing and musical accompaniment. We thank as well Mrs Mary Polland for having the chapel prepared so beautifully for the occasion. 

  Finally, to the boys and girls of P3. You have now reached another milestone on your spiritual journey. Well done!

  To usher in the St Patrick’s Day weekend celebrations, Sacred Heart P.S. partook in Green Day today. Children came to school dressed in green before we kicked off the festivities with a concert that was played out to a capacity crowd in the hall.

  Seachtain na Gaelige, limericks, Irish dancing, traditional Irish music, recitation, tin whistle, proverbs, Scoil Spreagtha, arts and crafts, poetry, singing, the story of St Patrick and potato planting were just some of brilliant undertakings that took place to celebrate the life of our patron saint.

  A great day of culture was had by all!
