Scoil Bhride Confirmation Retreat
June 19th, 2018
The Retreat Day for the Confirmation Class from Scoil Bhride, which was called off in the Spring because of the heavy snowfalls, took place eventually on Friday 1st June.
The girls were delighted to travel to Glendalough with their teachers, Ms May and Ms McKenna, Principal Ms Hennessey, Deacon John Dunleavy and Trish O’Neill, for a day of walking, hearing the stories of St Kevin and of Monastic life in Glendalough, and prayer. The lovely Parish Church of St Kevin in Laragh was the finishing point, where they brought together all the memories of their Confirmation year and looked forward to the adventures and challenges to come as they prepare to finish their time in Scoil Bhride and move into the next level in their education.
