Congratulations to the children from 6th Class who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Pentecost Sunday. It was the first Confirmation ceremony with our new Bishop, Kevin Doran. We wish him well in his ministry in our diocese. A big thank you to our teachers,

Mrs Robinson, Ms Carr and Ms Caffrey

for their wonderful work in preparing the children for their special day. Thanks also to our marvellous choir, who enhanced the ceremony so beautifully under the direction of Mr Mitchell and accompanied by Emma Purcell and to Sam Purcell for his rendition of a slow air on the tin whistle. We are also grateful for the input of Canon Hever in preparing the children. Thanks also to our secretary, Mary Meehan for the beautiful Booklets and to Liam Mc Loughlin for transporting the artwork and adorning the Cathedral for the occasion. A big thank you to our wonderful Parents Association for their preparation of the post-ceremony party in the Gillooly Hall and their presentations to our teachers, our choir director, our organist and to Garda Pat Conway who was officiating on traffic patrol for the last time before he retires next month. We are very grateful to Pat for the years of service to Scoil Ursula as a Community Garda. You will be missed!!

St. Angela's Day

27/1/2015

Today is St. Angela's Day.
Angela Merici, or Angela de Merici, (21 March 1474 – 27 January 1540) was an Italian religious educator, who is honoured as a saint by the Catholic Church. She founded the Company of St. Ursula in 1535 in Brescia, in which women dedicated their lives to the service of the Church through the education of girls. From this organization later sprang the monastic Order of Ursulines, whose nuns established places of prayer and learning throughout Europe and, later, worldwide, most notably in North America. She died on this day in 1540.

SAINT ANGELA'S DAY

Angela Merici, or Angela de Merici, (21 March 1474 – 27 January 1540) was an Italian religious leader and saint. She founded the Order of Ursulines in 1535 in Brescia. She named the order after Saint Ursula, an earlier saint to whom she was devoted.

We celebrate her feast day on January 27th.
Prayer:
Saint Angela, you were not afraid of change.
You did not let stereotypes keep you from serving.
Help us to overcome our fear of change in order to follow God's call
and allow others to follow theirs. Amen
