Bishop Kieran O’Reilly was warmly welcomed to St.Brendans Boys Primary school last Friday. The Bishop was making his first visit to the school as part of a tour of the local parish national schools. The Bishop arrived to the school with Fr.David during break time and immediately was engulfed by a sea of boys abandoning the game of soccer and wishing to introduce themselves and shake his hand. After plenty of hand-shaking he met the staff over a cup of tea and then proceeded to meet our 6th class boys who are preparing for confirmation. They had a lovely chat with plenty of questions from the boys before coming to the school hall as Guest of Honour at our annual November remembrance service. He took part in our service which was filled with song, music and prayer. The Bishop then spoke to the boys and asked them to go home and tell their families that he had said “Hi” and that they had a lovely school. Bishop Kieran then departed to the next school and the boys were rewarded for their excellent uniforms, behaviour and attitude by the treat of no homework the next Monday. What a blessing!
