Tuistí Rang 6 agus Rang 5 - An Chomhneartú / Parents of 6th Class - Confirmation

Dear Parents,

I write to you, parents of the children preparing for Confirmation.  I invite you to a meeting of parents only on Wednesday 9th November 2016 from 7.30pm to 9.30pm in the Friary Centre.

The purpose of the meeting is to assist parents to explore issues around putting forward a child for Confirmation. It is not a talk or lecture. The  meeting is to look at our understanding of Confirmation and in the light of that to look at ways in which you can help to make Confirmation Day more meaningful for yourself and your child.

I realise it may be difficult for both parents to attend, but if possible it would be much more beneficial. The meeting will be facilitated by the Parish Catechists (Carmel Murphy and Emily O’Regan), some parishioners and myself. 

The Enrolment for Confirmation will be on Sunday 13th November 2016 at 10.00am Mass.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting in the Friary.

Yours sincerely,
  
Fr. Robert Young

Míoltóga Ghruaige i Rang 5 / Head lice in 5th Class


10/10/2016
A thuistí, 
Cuireadh ar an eolas mé go raibh cás míoltóga ghruaige i Rang 5 (buachaillí, go háirithe). Scrúdaigh gruaig do pháiste anocht agus cuir an leigheas cuí air más gá. Chun na míoltóga gruaige a sheachaint chabhrófar gruaig na gcailíní a chur suas agus banda gruaige leathan a chaitheamh. Go raibh míle maith agaibh!

Dear parents, I have been informed of a case of head-lice in 5th Class (Boys in particular). Please check your child's hair tonight and treat it if necessary. To avoid the head lice it would help to put up the girls' hair and for them to wear a wide hair-band. Thanking you all in advance!
