The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2016 is: 'Catholic Schools: 'Challenged to Proclaim God's Mercy’. The theme ties in with the Jubilee Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis for this year and the week runs from Sunday January 31st  until February 7th.

    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

 
Picture
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.

Junior Infant Nativity

18/12/2013

 
Well done to our youngest stars of stage, the Junior Infant classes who performed a beautiful uplifting nativity play this morning called "Woops a Daisy Angel". A big thank you to their wonderful teachers, Ms Cogan, Ms Dwyer & Mrs Corcoran who produced and directed this marvellous performance. We also thank our Student Council for their ushering and fund-raising all this week at all our shows. Thanks to them and the generosity of our parents & staff, we raised €750 for the Marcus Moore Trust for Cancer Research and Sligo Social Services. We are grateful to our Chairperson, Marian Moore, (Marcus' mum) and Lisa (his sister) who provided us with spot prizes for our after-show raffles in aid of these worthy causes. Well done to everybody!!! See some pics below and a video snippet. More pics of the other shows to follow :-)

SAINT ANGELA'S DAY

27/1/2013

 
Picture
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
