Catholic Schools Week
Catholic Schools Week is an all-Ireland annual event which invites Catholic schools to give expression in a special way to the ethos of Catholic education. This year’s theme is: “Challenged to Proclaim God’s Mercy”.
The pupils in Kilmoyley National School celebrated Catholic Schools Week by honouring Saint Brigid. Thanks to the efforts of the children and their families Saint Brigid crosses were blessed at both masses in The Sacred Heart Church, Kilmoyley at the week-end.
The staff and pupils are also preparing for Ash Wednesday. The pupils in fifth and sixth classes will provide the music ministry on that occasion.
The sacrament classes in the school are busy preparing for Confirmation and First Penance.
First Penance will be celebrated in The Sacred Heart Church, Kilmoyley on Friday 12th February. Confirmation Ceremony will be celebrated in Kilmoyley on Friday 26th February.

The Big Travel Challenge
For the next two weeks Scoil Naomh Eirc will be encouraging parents and pupils to “Park and Stride” as part of an Taisce‘s “Big Travel Challenge” which promotes sustainable means of travel.
School principal Mrs. Áine Crowe is hoping that by giving the children the opportunity to experience the fun of walking it will encourage them to integrate walking into their everyday lives.
The walking to school initiative promotes the health benefits of an active lifestyle and is environmentally friendly.
