On Tuesday 30th June we said a sad farewell to 38 amazing Primary 7 pupils. The evening started with a Leavers’ Mass celebrated by Fr Eamon Graham in Our Lady of Mercy Church. A number of children participated in the very moving and memorable service. Adhering to all social distancing rules, the children did the readings, offertory and provided instrumental music and singing. The music liturgy was led by Mr Sean Scullion, accompanied by Miss Oonagh Clarke.
Following Mass, the children were presented with a number of Leavers’ gifts including a Prayer of St Brigid, a candle and a personalised autograph book.
As they left the Church, school staff formed a guard of honour and applauded the 38 Leavers.
There was then a short fireworks display to bring the evening to an end with a Big Bang! ⚡️💥✨
This is not the end for the class of 2020 as they will return to the Church on 20th August for the sacrament of Confirmation.
