Today was a very poignant and difficult day for our PCH Community. We held a beautiful service in the afternoon for the souls of Kirsty & Lukas. We prayed for the recovery of the students injured in the tragic events of Monday morning, April 17th. We also sought strength, compassion, and guidance to continue school life, albeit in a changed way. Our students were a credit to themselves and to you, their families. Their rapt and respectful attention during the simple but highly poignant service was truly amazing. We were uplifted with beautiful music and singing by Ms Ita Cunningham and Ms Siobhan Shaughnessy.
We were joined by the Presentation Sisters, by the CEO, and area director of CEIST , by our Board of Management and by all our local clergy. Such is the support and love for our community that gifts of flowers and cards , messages and calls of solidarity poured in all day from all over the country and beyond.
We hope we did Lukas and Kirsty proud.
