Tuistí Páistí an Chéad Chomaoineach / Note for parents of First Holy Communion Children

Dear Parents,

Our next  ‘Do this in Memory’ Mass will be held on:

Sunday, 10^th April 2016 at 10:00 AM, for Dunderrow and Gaelscoil

This Sunday is the 3^rd Sunday of Easter. The Paschal candle and the Easter Garden, showing the story of Easter, will still be on display.

Before coming to Mass, we would like the children to do the puzzles and colouring on pages 62 to 63 of the THUMB book.

The Gospel tells the story of the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. Just as Jesus invited his disciples to ‘come and eat’ the bread and fish, the children are invited to come and share in the Bread of Life for the first time at their First Holy communion.

This is also our last ‘Do This in Memory’ Mass before the First Holy Communion. We would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a joyful day.

Just one practical note: if you would like to take photographs inside the Church on the day, it would be appreciated if you could wait until after Mass.

Yours sincerely,

Fr. Robert and the Parents Coordinating Group

Bailiúcháin pinginí rua/coppers collection

Slánú do shóinseáil/ Rounding of cash transactions 

Toisc go bhfuil an rialtas ag iarraidh an líon pinginí 1c agus 2c atá in úsáid a laghdú, tá cinneadh déanta againn iad a bhailiú ar scoil chun airgead a bhailiú. Má tá sibh ag iarraidh fáil réidh le sóinseáil sa bhaile, seol isteach ar scoil é le bhur dtoil. Beidh rás idir na ranganna agus gheobhaidh an rang is fearr dúis. 

As the amount of 1c and 2c coins in circulation is being reduced by rounding in shops, we have decided to collect them in school as a fundraiser. If you have any coppers and spare change at home, we would be grateful if you would send them in. 

Don't hoover up that 1cent under the car seat! Send it in with your child to school! There is a container in every classroom, the best class will receive a prize.
