Celebrating Presentation Day in November

Our school motto is Together, We Bring the Light.

This is what everyone in school did on 21st November, the Feast of the Presentation.

All of the pupils and staff, and some special guests, got together in the gym for a special assembly.

This assembly celebrated in song, story and in prayer, our Presentation roots!

We remembered Nano Nagle, who founded the Presentation Sisters in 1775.

Presentation sisters first came to Castlecomer in 1829.

5th and 6th class put on a special production of the Nano Nagle play, which they wrote last year.

Pupils from 1st class brought special symbols and gifts, and led us all in prayer for all of our school community and our families.

It was a great celebration.

See pictures of some of the lanterns made in honour of Nano, also known as The Lady of the Lantern.
