PARENTS ASSOCIATION
We are blessed in our school to have such an active and vibrant Parents'Association, who work hand in hand with the Board of Management and School staff to advance our school in all areas.
The parent is the child's primary educator and their contribution to our school is very highly valued.
A Parent’s Blessing
When you were born
Our hearts were so full of happiness
That there was no room in us
For words.
When you were growing
Our hearts were so full of care for you
That we spoke soothingly
And sometimes sharply,
Fearful for your safety,
But always
In the deepest places of our hearts
We spoke lovingly.
Today,
As we watch you
Moving forward with your friends
We marvel at all you have done
And become.
Our spirits sing praise to God
For the gift that is you.
And, though our hearts
Have stretched to love others,
Yet, there is a place within us
That is yours, and only yours
Always.
For the light you have shone on us,
For the life you have called us to,
For the special gift of God
You are now, and will ever be,
Thank you. (Christy Kenneally)
