St. La Salle's day 2012

The Headmaster, Mr. Lorcan Balfe, paid tribute to Jim and also to Mr. John O'Leary (First day pupil, former Teacher and NEPS Psychologist for the College) and Mr. Harry Griffith (former Chairman of the Board of Management 1998 - 2001) who also passed away this year. Prayers were also offered for Mrs. Judy Moore (mother of 6^th Year student Danny Moore) and Mr. Gary Doyle (father of 3^rd Year student Jack Doyle) who also died this year.

 

Recent past pupils Jack Morris, Killian Roche and Eamonn O'Shea from class of 2011 witnessed the lighting of the Lourdes candle that they presented to the College to mark their participation in the Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage last year.

 

A feature of the Mass was the music and singing by the students of the College who performed in French, English, Latin, Greek and Irish. After the Mass the traditional ice cream was distributed to the boys (many thanks to SuperValu Churchtown) while the staff and guests repaired to the staffroom for a buffet lunch. Many thanks are due Mrs. Dunne, Ms. Prenter and Ms. Jordan (and her mother) for providing and arranging the flowers in our traditional wine and gold colours; Ms. Mazzucato, Mr. Corbet and Mr. Chambers who organised the music and the singing; so many of the teaching staff and students who set up and arranged the Hall, the Parents Room and the Staff Room; and Ms. Kathleen Quinlan and Ms. Betty O'Connell, Deputy Principal, who organised everything!
