St John’s Church was packed as it hosted families from Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn in an afternoon sitting, having held a ceremony for Presentation Primary pupils earlier that morning.
Meanwhile, the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathass was similarly full with second class pupils from Caherleaheen NS and their families on a day to remember for all. Scroll down for photos…
