On Monday January 30th there was Mass in the Church of Our Lady Help of Christians, Swinford to mark Catholic Schools Week 2012. Bishop Brendan Kelly was the Celebrant of the Mass, accompanied by the choir of Scoil Muire agus Padraig. Pupils, teachers, parents, priests and religious from around the diocese gathered to celebrate Mass. Below are a few pictures from the Mass. The song is "Things we've handed down" sung by Tommy Fleming. The song is that of a new father wondering what will become of his child and hoping that all will be good for the child and rooted in the "things handed down". It is in the spirit of "things handed down" we celebrate all that is good and giving in Catholic Education.
