KILCUMMIN COMMUNITY

KILCUMMIN SCHOOL MEMORY TREE

Last Wednesday, Fr. Kieran held a beautiful ceremony where he blessed the School Crib and the outdoor Memory Tree, the staff and children sang “Away in a Manger”. The tree will light up every evening until the 6th of January, there will be a special Mass on that day to remember all our loved ones names. If you would like your loved ones remembered, there are memory cards available in the Post Office. All proceeds going to the Parents Association for the school. Thank you for your support.

PINK NIGHT SAVE THE DATE

Now in its twelfth year—and supporting Comfort for Chemo for the fifth year running—this much-loved event promises a fantastic evening of fun and fundraising for all. Guests will be greeted with a prosecco reception and chocolate-dipped strawberries to set the tone for a relaxed post-Christmas celebration. While everyone is encouraged to wear pink, dressing up is completely optional—the true spirit of the night is community, enjoyment, and support for a great cause.
