🙏🕯 Primary 7 Service of Light 🙏🕯
Sun 23 Apr 2023Our Primary 7 pupils, who are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, attended their Service of Light in St. Colmcille’s Church on Tuesday 18th April. The P7 pupils were fantastic throughout the service, keeping a very reverent and respectful atmosphere, as the candle representing the Light of Christ was passed to them from their parents and guardians. Thank you to Father Toland for celebrating the Service of Light with us and to all our school staff who attended. The Sacrament of Confirmation will take place in St. Patrick’s Church next Thursday 27th April. St. Colmcille’s pray for our P7 pupils. Downpatrick Parish

We were delighted to present Maria McGeown, of Downpatrick Autism Family Support Group, with a cheque for £200 on behalf of the pupils, families and staff of St. Colmcille’s Primary School.
