Thanks to Offaly County Council and their staff for making the car park of Birr Civic Offices available on Saturday last for our Confirmation Ceremonies.

A special word of thanks to teachers of 6th class in our primary schools, to Helena Kennedy who ran the after school preparation programme, to Sr. Maeve who ran the adult preparation programme, to Joan Hogan who co-ordinated the sacramental programme. Also thanks to Ger Roberts, Eimear Scully, Paula Hoare and Christy Sullivan.

All your efforts are very much appreciated.
