Sacrament of Reconciliation - Saturday 12 - 12.30 pm
Sacred Heart Friday Devotions  - 7.00 pm
It seems inappropriate to be saying the Stations as we celebrate the season of Easter. As the Eucharist is referred to as the 'Easter Sacrament' it seems right to have Benediction with Evening Prayer of the Church until after Pentecost.

S.A.T.S.
The children in top Infants and top Juniors are now preparing for their SATS which take place early in May. The next few weeks are important to the children and sitting the tests are a must because they help to gauge progress being made in their education. It is a national examination and the results are published each year. If a child is absent it has a dramatic effect for the class percentage results. Just one or two children being absent can affect results by 8-10% . More importantly, failure to sit the test may mean that areas for extra help or particular strengths are not identified.
