The visit of Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

December 9, 2022

The Taoiseach Mícheál Martin visited Our Lady of Lourdes N.S. today.  He had asked our Fifth and Sixth class girls to create his Christmas card for 2022. One of our sixth class girls created a beautiful card which will be sent by the Taoiseach to friends, family and heads of state all over the world. He told us that he had already posted his card to Joe Biden, President of the United States. Its wonderful that a card created by a pupil of Our Lady of Lourdes will be displayed in the White House. The Taoiseach praised the girls for their hard work and exemplary behaviour today. He also spoke to everyone about the importance of kindness at Christmas.  He spoke of his fondness for our school and about the lovely warm atmosphere and great learning traditions associated with Our Lady of Lourdes.

It really was a very memorable day for the entire school and we are very proud of everyone.
