(I’m going to leave Henry up again for today. He has got a great reaction from those who have seen him here and at the show last Saturday!)

This is ‘Henry The Scarecrow’. I put him together for the Belgooly show last Saturday as an entry for the Scarecrow Section. All in the spirit of a bit of fun and he certainly got lots of thumbs up from those who saw him!!

Significance of Today

Today is World Caring Day. This day reminds us of the importance of care and kindness especially with our nearest and dearest. We also think of carers who look after a loved one at home and in doing so make huge sacrifices. The wonderful work that these carers do should not go unnoticed.

Video🎥:  The Junior and Leaving Cert exams began yesterday. The following is a short video prayer called: ‘A Prayer For All Those Starting Their Exams’

Thought For The Day

The Junior and Leaving Cert Exams begin today and so the following prayer is appropriate

Exam Prayer for Students

Lord pour out your Spirit of Wisdom on me

Help me to remain calm

To attend carefully to the questions asked

To think clearly, to remember accurately

and to express myself well.

Grant that I may reflect the best of the work I have done,

and the best of the teaching I have received.

Help me not to become unduly stressed.

Lord I place all my trust in you. Amen
