Catholic School’s Week begins Sunday 26th January with different events to mark the gift of faith in the life of our schools. The theme this year is “Catholic Schools – Living in harmony with God’s Creation”. Here in Ballygall one big feature is Grandparents Day normally celebrated on Wednesday when grandparents are invited to the school to visit their grandchildren and share their memories of their time in school and see the differences in today’s classrooms.
Laudate Festival, with children’s choirs from 50 schools throughout the diocese, takes part in different venues throughout the diocese. Here in our sister parish, Our Lady of Victories, Ballymun Road local children are invited to take part on Tuesday 28th beginning at 7pm. All are welcome to listen and join in this festival of prayer, praise and song. This is an event for children, their parents and all parishioners to celebrate the gift of faith.
