Our Mass to mark the beginning of our new school year was celebrated on the feast day of St. Michael the Archangel (29th September). This is a major feast day in the Loreto calendar and St. Michael is widely celebrated as a Loreto hero! We invited Fintan Brolly, our youngest first-year student, along with Peter Mc Cool and Eva Mc Bride, our heads of school, to carry a picture of St. Michael and place it at the foot of our altar. This image, along with our statue of St. Michael, is a visible reminder that we are all under the protection of this great saint.
We also presented gifts to reflect the theme of our Opening Mass and our prayer intentions.
