Today in school we celebrated Grandparent’s Day as part of Catholic Schools’ Week.
We began with Mass in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Grange which was celebrated by Rev Fr Cahill. The Primary 7 children participated with great reverence in the liturgy and all of the children joined in singing hymns. Fr Cahill invited the congregation to go to the school hall for a cup of tea after Mass.
Many grandparents were able to accept the invitation. It was so good to look around the hall and see the happy faces of children and their grandparents together.
Thank you to everyone who attended the Mass and those who were able to come over to school afterwards. We were delighted mark this special day with you.
Grandparents
Few can bring the warmth
We can find in their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring love.
Than the smile on their face.
They've a supply of precious stories,
Yet they've time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us laugh,
They grow more precious through the years.
I believe that God sent us Grandparents
As our legacy from above,
To share the moments of our life,
As extra measures of His love
