Donegal Teachers visit Mullaghbawn

On the 1st 2nd and 3rd of April 4 teachers from Loch an Iúir visited our partner school in Mullaghbawn.We were warmly welcomed and well looked after. We visited the school and went into almost every classroom. What a beautiful school full of wonderful children and teachers. We visited the nearby Tí Chullian Center and we hope to bring a group of pupils there in the near future. We were given a guided tour of the local area and visited St Brigid's Shrine in Faughart, which is very close by the school.
Many thanks to Peter, Ciara and all the teachers and pupils for a wonderful few days in South Armagh. We hope to see you all again soon. Pictures of the visit will follow.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig


Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir!!!
On the 17th March people all over the world will celebrate St Patrick's Day. He is our Patron Saint. There are many myths and stories about him...he banished snakes from Ireland is one of them. People tend to go a bit mad and dress up in anything GREEN.
In New York the River Hudson will turn green for the day!!
The Shamrock is the symbol of Ireland and it tells the story of the Holy Trinity-the fact that God is The Father ,The Son and The Holy Spirit-the three in one.
Happy St Patrick's Day to you all, where ever you are in the world.
