​SACRED SPACE

 MAY IS THE MONTH OF MARY- WE TRIED TO SAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY DURING MAY 2022

ADVENT 2021

During the four weeks of Advent, we are trying hard to prepare well for Christmas.  Our Sacred Space is depicting our Advent Good Deeds tree and also our Advent Wreath.  It reminds us of the good deeds we can do to prepare for the birthday of Jesus.  These good deeds will be a lovely present for baby Jesus on Christmas morning.  We are tidying our toys, setting the table, doing our homework without a fuss.  Junior and Senior Infants have made beautiful Advent wreaths and 5th and 6th have written some beautiful Advent poetry.

IN NOVEMBER WE REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Picture
The names of those we have loved who are now in heaven, are recorded on our purple hearts and placed on the various remembrance trees around the school.

MAY IS THE MONTH OF MARY

Picture
We will do our best to recite a decade of the Rosary every day during Our Lady's special month of May.

LENT 2021

It was pretty hard to give up nice things such as sweets during Lent this year, but we did our best.  We also tried to do a good deed each day such as setting the table, tidying our toys, doing our homework without a fuss!
Picture

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS' WEEK 2021
Snowdrops and daffodils make an appearance to cheer us.  We celebrate the feast of St. Brigid and St. Blaise.  We love the St. Brigid's cross installation at the roundabout.
What a beautiful Nativity installation at St. Augustines Roundabout - it would lift your heart!

Our Sacred Space contains a tree.  On the tree are leaves with the names of all our family members who have died.  We remember them especially in November and we pray for them every day.  May they rest in peace Amen.

 POPE FRANCIS VISITS IRELAND AUGUST 2018

Pope Francis' visit to Ireland was a wonderful, exciting time.  He gave us some special messages to help us live as Jesus would like us to.  Our Faith notice board reminds us of these.

MAY IS THE MONTH OF MARY

Thanks to Sally, Brannagh and Alexandra for bringing in lovely flowers for our May Altar.

Our Sacred Space is depicting the joy of Easter at this time.

LENTEN WILDERNESS GARDEN

6th Class girls made a beautiful Lenten Wilderness Garden.  The Lenten tree reminds us to do some good deeds, and perhaps give up something.  The Trócaire box reminds us to try to think of others and give our spare pocket money to those in need.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

During Catholic Schools' Week the Sacred Space is depicting the beautiful Amoris Laetitia prayer card and symbols of St. Brigid, St. Blaise, St. John Bosco and of course His Holiness Pope Francis.  The children from the Choir sang at the Laudate festival in St. Colmcille's church on Monday 29th of January 2018.  It was a lovely festival of joy.
Picture

ADVENT

During Advent, our Sacred Space depicted the season of Advent.  Our Advent tree held good deeds that we could do in preparation for the great festival of Jesus' birth, such as tidy our toys, set the table, say our prayers etc.  We lit a different candle each week on our Advent Wreath.

Catholic Schools - Families of Hope: November 2017

During the month of November, we placed the name of every member of our family who has died on a leaf and this was placed on our Tree of Hope.  This signified our belief  in eternal life and the hope that brings to us all.  Fr. Lyng celebrated a lovely Assembly Service with us all.
