MAY SHE REST IN PEACE

Reposing at her home on Tuesday from 3 o’clock to 7 o’clock and house private thereafter. Funeral Mass on Wednesday at 10 o’clock in the Cathedral of Christ the King, Mullingar followed by burial in Kilronan Cemetery.

Our fourth and sixth classes will represent the school by forming a guard of honour at her funeral.

Ethan's Papal Letter

This week, one of our Senior Infant students got a lovely surprise in the post when a letter arrived from none other than Pope Francis!

Ethan in Senior Infants has been fascinated by Pope Francis since he started this year. Pauline decided to post a letter from Ethan to the Vatican in November.

This week, he got a reply!

The letter, by assessor monsignor Paolo Borgia in the Holy See, says: “The holy father was happy to receive your letter and asked me to reply to you.

“He is glad to hear that you turn to the lord in your needs.

“His holiness sends warm wishes to you, your family, and your teachers and prays that you will grow in friendship with Jesus Christ our lord and be filled with the gifts of joy and peace.

“I am sending a medal blessed by the holy father for you.”

Well done to Ethan! The story appeared on the front page of the Meath Chronicle, as well as the Irish Times this week!
