St Mel
Saint Mel was a 5th Century saint in Ireland who was a nephew of St Patrick. Mel and his brothers accompanied their uncle Patrick to Ireland and helped him with his missionary work there. He and his brother were both consecrated by Patrick himself. Mel became Bishop of Ardagh but spent most of his life as a travelling missionary and evangelist. He supported himself by working with his hands and what he gained beyond bare necessities he gave to the poor.
We pray that like St Mel, we may live simply and give generously to those in need in order to claim our eternal reward in heaven.
Our Father …..

Daily Prayer
The Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord
Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Presentation of the Lord which occurs forty days after his birth. At the temple Christ is recognised as the Messiah by Simeon and Anna who were dedicated to prayer and fasting and so were able to recognize the Messiah.
On this day, the Church demonstrates its gratitude to all those in the community who dedicate themselves in a privileged way to prayer, to those who have a particular religious vocation to the contemplative life. Jesus’ presentation in the temple, also reminds us that time could not be better spent than in prayer and contemplation as those who pray and offer penance, like Simeon and Anna, are open to the breath of the Spirit. They know how to recognise the Lord .
Almighty ever-living God, we humbly implore your majesty that, just as your Only Begotten Son was presented on this day in the Temple in the substance of our flesh, so, by your grace, we may be presented to you with minds made pure. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
Hail Mary….

Daily Prayer
Today is the Feast of St John Bosco
Fr. Don Bosco was a dedicated priest who took on blood-thirsty revolutionaries, the Italian government and his own archbishop in his quest to rescue the homeless children of Turin. This heroic priest’s undying belief in the boys he sought to help inspired them to fulfill their potential in the Catholic Faith. Don Bosco’s lifelong effort to save the children of the street became the foundation of the Salesians, one of the largest child care networks in the world.
Lord,
St John Bosco gave his life in the service of the young, helping them to become honest citizens and good Christians.
He enabled young people to discover the goodness that is within them and to express it in practical and courageous ways.
May we learn from his example and teachings and grow in our love of God and others.
Our Father …..

Daily Prayers
Monday 30th January 2017
Whether you’ve found your vocation or you’re still discerning, let us take the time to say a prayer for others who are searching to know God’s Will in their lives. We pray all will be open to God’s call.
Lord Jesus, once You called the first disciples in order to make them fishers of men. Continue to let Your sweet invitation resound today, “Come and follow Me.”
Grant to young men and women the grace of responding promptly to Your voice. Sustain our bishops, priests, and consecrated souls in their apostolic work. Give perseverance to our seminarians and to all those who are fulfilling the ideal of a life of total consecration to Your service.
Enkindle in our communities a missionary zeal. Send, Lord, workers into Your fields and do not let mankind be lost because of a lack of pastors, missionaries, and people dedicated to the cause of the Gospel.
Mary, Mother of the Church, Model of Vocations, help us say “Yes” to the Lord who calls us to collaborate in the divine design of salvation. Amen.
Hail Mary…..

Transition
The Transition Team are really looking forward to visiting our associate primaries for the P7 Roadshows. The event in November was a resounding success with over 300 pupils and parents joining us for subject taster sessions and a tour of the school.
The roadshow events are a fantastic opportunity where we get to visit our upcoming pupils and parents in a smaller setting which allows us to answer any questions posed.
Road Safety
Please remember to drive slowly in and around the school grounds. We have a number of traffic calming measures in place to try to keep everyone concerned safe, please adhere to them. The roundabouts at the bottom of the drive can be very busy at times so be careful, the safety of our pupils, parents and those passing by is important to us.
