IT’S been a momentous time for pupils from four local schools this week as Confirmations were held in St John’s Church.
It was a shame that the weather was so terrible for the sixth class pupils from Moyderwell Mercy Primary School as they arrived for the early afternoon ceremony on Tuesday, where Fr David McGovern officiated.
However, they and their families enjoyed the occasion and didn’t let the wind and rain spoil the day. The same can be said for Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn’s boys and girls who didn’t let the weather dampen the spirit of the day during their ceremony — celebrated by Fr Francis Nolan — later that afternoon.

Bishop of Kerry Ray Browne was present to officiate the two Confirmation ceremonies on Wednesday at the church.
The weather only improved slightly for the Presentation Primary pupils, St John’s Parochial School pupils and their families in the early afternoon and the sixth class pupils from Caherleaheen NS later that day.
Nevertheless, it was a day they’ll all never forget and no doubt there were lovely celebrations (indoors) in the afternoons and evenings on both days. Scroll down for photos…
