St. Paul’s AC

4 of our juvenile athletes were in action last weekend at the Leinster Juvenile Track and Field championships in Tullamore. In the U14 600m, Ava O’Donoghue ran very well in a very strong field, gaining valuable experience along the way. Daniel Halligan (U13) competed in two events over the weekend finishing 5th in the High Jump and 6th in the 60m hurdles, 2 great results. This was the first provincial championships for both Ava and Daniel, who show great potential for the future. Tara Connick (U16) threw very well to secure a PB in the discus, where she finished 5th and another PB in the hammer, finishing 4th gaining qualification to the All Irelands in a month’s time. In the inter-county relays, Tommy Wickham was part of the U13 team who had a great result, taking home a silver medal. Well done to all four athletes!

Online entry is now open for our annual 5 mile road race on 7th September at www.runireland.com

Knock Pilgrimage

In a letter to all the parishes Bishop Dennis Brennan invites parishioners to join him on the annual Ferns Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock Shrine which will take place on Sunday, July 7 2013. He writes “Each pilgrimage centre has its own character – Knock holds a special place in the hearts of all Irish people, as and ongoing moment of encounter between ourselves and the Divine.”

Tidy Towns

As the Tidy Towns Adjudicators will be in the area shortly, the Group would encourage everyone to make an effort to keep their area clean and tidy. Now is the time to paint that wall and to tidy up the garden. Please don’t forget the bit outside of your property that we just couldn’t get to this year. Every little help is appreciated.

Kilrane National School

Last Friday was a gala day at our School. Being the last day of the year the staff and children were preparing to take their summer holidays. Added to that the builder, Richard Browne of Wexford under the direction of our very able and well-loved principal, Master Owen O’Donnagain had just completed building new classrooms and auxiliary rooms which brings the total number of classrooms in the school to eleven.

At ten o’clock in Friday June 28, 2013, Bishop Dennis Brennan DD arrived to bless the campus, the staff, the pupils, and the new extension and to assist at the opening of the new buildings which would be carried out by Margaret Lambert and Fran Doyle, pupils who attended school in the old building opposite the present school.

The sun was shining, the wind had abated, and we were all in festival mood. Fr. Diarmuid Desmond PP and Chairperson of the Management Board began the proceedings by extended a warm welcome to all the guests, pupils, and staff. He then invited Mrs. Deirdre Sinnott, Vice-Principal, to act as MC giving guidance to the ceremonies. Pupils forming the school band provided music for the occasion. Mr. Eoin O’Donnagain and Bishop Dennis addressed the group and we concluded the ceremony by inviting Fran Doyle, Margaret Lambert and the bishop to cut the tape to signify the opening of the extension. The Parents Council then provided refreshments for the guests. As part of the work the builder, Richie Browne, erected three purpose made flag poles. We purchased these from the Great Southern when it was being demolished. Richie told us that he had originally put them up, many years ago for the Great Southern Management. Now he has put them up for Kilrane National School.
