First Confession – Ms Rochford’s 2nd

On Wednesday, 12th February, children from all 2nd classes made their First Confession with Fr. Flynn, Fr. Banville or Fr. Kehoe.

Father spoke with the children as did Net Ministries. We learned afresh about God’s love and why it is important to ask for His forgiveness for the times we do not live as we should.

The children were then split into groups headed by their team leader from Net Ministries. There, they undertook small group activities while waiting to make their Confession.

A big thank you to the priests and Net Ministries for making the ceremony so meaningful for the children.

Finally, take a look at the children’s lovely art work, completed as part of their preparation for their First Confession.

Scór na bPáistí 2025

Children in 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th Class have been working hard to prepare for Scór na bPáistí 2025. We were very proud to have 1 Figure Dancing Group, 2 Solo Singers, 2 Ballad Groups as well as 2 Instrumental Groups take part in the Gorey District Rounds in Bunscoil Loreto on 30/01/2025. All competitors were excellent and did our school proud. We were very excited to have Isabella go through in Solo Singing as well as a Ballad Group make it to the semi-final.

On Thursday, February 7th, we went back to Bunscoil Loreto to take part in the semi-finals. Both Isabella and the Ballad Group did excellently. The competition was very difficult but we were grateful that our Ballad Group made it to the County Final in the National Opera House on 13/02/2025.

Good luck to Isabella, Lyla, Roisín, Teagan and Patrick. We are so proud of you all!

Thanks to Ms Culliton, Ms Waters and Mr O’ Brien for preparing the children.
