THERE was little respite from the wind and rain yesterday, as the pupils from Scoil Eoin received the sacrament of Confirmation.

Three ceremonies took place at Our Lady and St Brendan’s Church in the morning and afternoon with large crowds attending the milestone event in the children’s lives.

Fr Pádraig officiated at all three ceremonies (assisted by Fr John Ahern) and everything went off according to plan for the pupils and their families, who left afterwards to enjoy the rest of the day. Scroll down for photos (more to come later)…
