St. Michael's Parish 
The Children’s Voices
Our church is a very busy place these days as schools rehearse and celebrate their Christmas carol concerts and nativity plays. It’s great to hear the voices of the children and young people in the church. We are grateful to their dedicated teachers and school staffs who give so much of themselves in these preparations and celebrations.
This coming week, we say a special word of thanks to Ms. Linda Keane who retires as principal of Scoil Ursula having been principal for the last fifteen years and a member of staff there for many years. Go raibh maith agat Ms. Keane on behalf of all in the Parishes of Blackrock and Mahon. We welcome Ms. Liz Cronin as the new principal of Scoil Ursula in the new year and we wish her every success and blessing in her new role and responsibilities. Fáilte.
