Springtime Summary |

Catholic Schools’ Mission at Nenagh CBS Primary.

Thanks to Sr. Ina, Sr. Rosaleen and Marion who visited our school this week.

There was a concert held on Thursday, 8th of March at St. Mary’s of the Rosary church as part of the mission. The boys performed well and parents were in attendance.

The mission was a great success and the boys really enjoyed it.
Many thanks to all.
