Confirmation 2014
Our thanks to Bishop Brendan Leahy and everyboby who helped make yesterday's Confirmation ceremony so memorable for all concerned. A special word of thanks to Mrs Russell and the school choir and musicians for their fantastic contribution to the celebration. And, finally, congratulations to the 40 boys and girls who prepared so diligenty for the Sacrament and who showed great reverence - and wonder and awe in God's presence - in the Church of the Blessed Virgin yesterday.
A Special Message
Bishop Leahy reminded everyone that, "The Spirit sends each of us out to give good news to the poor." As the pupils in Patrickswell NS know, there are many kinds of poverty: poverty caused by a lack of money is one kind but poverty in people's spirits and hearts is another kind that can also lead to abject misery and suffering for millions of our fellow human beings.
Here's a link to a short movie entitled "What is Poverty?" made by Patrickswell NS pupils a few years ago: http://vimeo.com/19128605
